So far, I've replaced the generator, plugs, plug wires, distributor cap, rotor, battery and intake manifold gaskets.. and it still isn't wanting to run quite right yet.. but we paid $1500 for it, and I've seen ones in worse shape go for 2 and 3 times that. There's a few VW clubs here in Western Washington, and they do day cruises all spring and summer long, so we'll be getting in on some of that action for sure.. especially this one: http://www.cruiseforthecure.net/
