Default Time to stop my VW Beetle Restoration

I have run out of time and interest in restoring my 40 year old VW T1 Beetle, need to pass on the project or break the car, could use Ebay or Pistonheads. Has anyone got any advice on the most likely place to move the car on, it has had a fare bit of work on it but more still to do.

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks, good link.

Need to decide whether there is any merit in putting the driver side wings back on and hanging the door. The car is not drivable at present who ever gets it will need to trailer it away, as I did when I got it from Hull. Engine works, drove it in to my garage, back in 2010.

I still remember the feeling of fear with my old Beetle should I accidentally enter a corner too fast in the wet. Talk about delicate corrections to control the back end and avoid disaster!
