Volkswagen beetle car? I bought a 72 vw bug a few months ago and it has turned into a bit of a project. i have done most of the restoration work my self (beacause i dont have money to pay someone like to learn etc.) but looking at how much they sell for on craigslist im concerned about how much i will be able to sell it for once im ready to. i wuld like to add some aftermarket upgrades. (disk brakes upgraded springs, seats engine work) but would like to know how much this would effect the value. how much would a 72 volkswagen bug daily driver not a show car but not a terrible project cost and are there certain things i can do myself (or should avoid all together) that would improve the value of the car.
