Super all the way

They handle very well in stock form, its easy to put porsche suspension/brakes onto them (depending on age), with a few $$ they can handle like a dream.

And personally I far prefer the look of supers over 'standard' bugs, mainly because I really am a big fan of the german look... Its a slippery slope, and once you start on the GL its downhill from there....

Sell the 67, sort the super out. Having a modern you can spend the time to do it exactly how you want it!

PS. My car, pictured above, has taken about 5 years to get to where she is now, thats with her being on the road almost 100% of the time as she's my only car!!!

PPS. on the slippery slope, will be working out the details for my new engine soon, the 130bhp T4 isnt enough Thinking more like 180-200.... At the wheels!

PPPS. 17's should happen within the next 2 months... Got my eye on some VERY nice wheels....

Thanks for the advice guys... I am still thinking on the issue... The 64 is in much better shape and would be easier to finish. but the super has its advatages. both cars are in TX and i can bring each out for $200 each a friend in the local VW club has a truck and will pick them up for me. So I think i may bring out the 64 first and clean it up and sell it as good non rust buckets are hard to find up here and it should go for about 4k or so which would give me a good starting point for the Super GL. and sence i am not in a hurry to get the car back on the road that is the way i may go. I just love the smaller windows of the 64 and the 64 would provide a really good platform for a Sleeper. I just started a new job that will let me save up money pretty quickly over the winter so i may just save some money and see how i feel about it. Ugg either way I know the car will look awesome. GL is the only way to go. I will keep you posted on my decision. I may just bring out the 64 clean it up and see if some one offers me money for it. If they do then Super is a shoe in.

Ok after just looking through all my GL photo colection and looking at the diff between the super vs other GL bugs. I have decided that i like the GL a little bit better on the 1303. So now i just have to figure out some other details....

Yes, the 1303 does take to the GL very well.
