 OK, its a bit of a strange post, I know. I am looking to sell my bug because I want an earlyish (pre big bumper) Type 3. Its a 1960 bug with 11 months MOT in 70's cal look/race style, Lowred at the front with a set of Empi five replicas. Its got a 1300cc engine which runs fine. Its lovely shiny ruby red paint is still nice and shiny, but is starting to show its age - it was resprayed years ago. I've also done a bit of home pin striping in gold. Interior wise its a stripped out racer style with 1 front seat - a Newbury empi bucket seat. However, it does want work - the car is structurally sound its had some welding (the rear susp. panel + the front section of heater channel), but its going in a few annoying places with rust bubbles starting to show - these are along the seams of the roof and dwon at the front of the doors. It also needs a pair of doors and front wongs, both of which I've already got (genuine not repro bits). Its also had a steel sliding golde sunroof welded in at some point that was leaking and I've had to mastic up.
Question is, do I do the bits and primer it before I sell it, or would I be better off just flogging it for a bit less now? I'm fairly capable so could do all the work myslef, but I'm just nor sure if the increase in price would be worth the extra work.
What values could you guys expect it to be worth before/after? Do you think it would be worth the extra work?

I just want a type 3!!!
