Buying and restoring an old bug!!

HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! :)

I am back. My first car was a bug but I had to sell that 3 and a half years ago. But because I love them so much I want another one. In the next week or two I am on the lookout for a good solid bug 1969 upwards to restore! My boyfriend and I are going to spend a good few months doing it up and I can't wait!

I am looking for one that has a straight body, mechanically (engine and gearbox) very good, very little rust and preferably one that is still on the road. If anyone knows of any bugs for sale please U2U me!!

I am probably looking for one with either a 1500 or 1600 motor. Thanks anyways.
