Help required regarding Restoration of VW beetle

@AsadIshaque
I'll definately be in touch with you people through this thread (Inshallah).
Some Deductions from your posts are as follows.
1. You are suggesting not to re-bolt the car (as it will be costly).
2. You are suggesting to go for touchups instead of re-painting (this will save great fraction of money too).
3. You are suggesting to go for "short block" overhaul.
I'll be considering all your suggestions while working on the vehicle. Inshallah in a day or two, i'll throughly inspect the vehicle and will make an estimate according to your suggestions (about the work estimate).
Thanks & Regards.

@ ranaomar

Thats about the summary of things....

However do note that point number three is a suggestion considering the best case scenario!

In case the main and bigend bearings are worn out you will have to go for a complete engine overhaul. The cost of a good quality complete overhaul is in the range of 25 thousand rupees.

Do keep us posted please.

Best of luck.

Oh well u need to get antirust treatment done and have to make sure you dont PIMP it because restoration and pimping is a different thing
get the same paint job done but get something proper done
get ur seats made again from scratch
this car has a lot of potential you can do a lot to it depending how much money you put into it
