300$ for a strait body, no wrecks or major rust? yeah thats fair. I 
would undertake this car if, and only if you had a source for cheap 
parts, like junkyards. the car could need a new fuel distributor 
which are not cheap, or it could be just vapor lock! Most likely you 
can get that car running tip top for less than ,$1,500 total assuming 
other stuff is ok like engine and tranny. a grand will let you 
overhaul things like bushings,mounts, sensors, this list is also a 
great source for cheap parts as we are all cheap bastards for the 
most part.

it also pays to have a trusted, good VW mechanic close by. One that 
will tell you exactly whats wrong and get it fixed right the 
firsttime, expecially helpful on expensive repairs. 

good thing about this kind of car, you invest little, work over the 
entire car, take care of any problems you encounter then have a solid 
car, on the other hand you can invest a lot of money in a sound car, 
but then you never know what will go wrong with it in the near 
future.
