Okay, here we have the denial factor, I bet there are a lot of listers
who've sunk nearly that in. (or at least 15K CDN, I guess you're talking
closer to 20-25 grand in my dollars, that IS a lot) Recovering your
investment? That means you're building to sell, not for your own
satisfaction. Which is either unsatisfying or unrealistic.

Were it me? I'd do the full rotisserie, windows out respray, and new seals
(I'm hallucinating here, it'd be a MkI I'd be building), and a few
carefully chosen Euro cosmetics. Something tasty for forward motivation,
with powder coated everything, and suspension upgrades. But my vision is a
uber-clean, stock look, and some hidden wickedness under the hood. Perhaps
one of them snail shaped thingies stuffed into the exhaust, what are they
called again? 

Honestly? I'm finding "hand me down Klaus" to be a lot of fun. No need for
the $15K. There really is no "right" answer for this question, but it's a
good question!
