So what is “Build-A-BuG?” View 3 part video below, I explain.

Please View Our Build-A-BuG Contract Form HERE in PDF.

See Part 2 HERE.

See Part 3 Where we talk about pricing HERE.

=====================================

*Pricing Structure UPDATE July 2022*
Due to Demand and rising costs of parts and labor.

(High End Driver Quality Restos are no more, sorry Guys)
All restorations are now Show/Concours Quality

Body Off Restorations
(All of our work today is Body Off.)
Prices are Between $70 – $100,000
all depending on the year and condition of the BuG.  The high end of the estimate means the usual areas where the bug needs structural repair, heater channels, rockers, floor pans, wheel wheel sections, cross members etc, but not always.  The more rot, the more labor.  The saying is “Do it Once, and do it RIGHT!”  If your Beetle does have structural rust of any kind,  it will be a body off.  The price range is wider in this section due to the labor, the increasing cost in parts, and the HIGH DEMAND for the Split and Oval Window Beetles.

=====================================

When “Build-A-BuG” started, the first video HERE.

We perform total ground up complete restorations. We specialize ONLY in the Classic VW Beetle. We take pride in every bug we produce and we know what is correct for your Vdub. We do not chop, cut, and or modify body structure in anyway. We prefer to keep the integrity of our bugs intact, this will only make our bugs appreciate in value year after year.

You are essentially driving off our lot with a brand new Classic VW Beetle!

As the restoration kicks into high gear for your car, you will be able to see the transformation on this website HERE along with frequent email updates of pics and video.

==============================================

This is the payment breakdown:
Payment Terms: By the assessment and examination of your Beetle, $5000.00 Non-Refundable Deposit is due, (this gets you in line) it will be applied to the total cost of the restoration.
(We give a general estimate of when the car will be completed.  Classic VW BuGs LLC is committed to performing the work in a timely and consistent manner.  Please understand that the work being performed is unpredictable and challenging.  For these reasons, we cannot, and will not, commit to hard or inflexible project completion timetables or deadlines.)

Milestone 1 Payment:  (non-refundable)
This payment covers tear down, ordering sheet metal parts (if needed), body & paintwork, and the start of the restoration process.

Milestone 2 Sourcing of Parts: (non-refundable)
Return to shop for complete assembly, sourcing & ordering of parts, restoration of Beetle continues.

Milestone 3-4 Completion:  Final Payment
Many times this is broken up into to two payment.  Labor hours tallied up, final payment is due.  No Beetle will be released until all funds have been received and cleared.

This estimate is for completing the job as described above.  It is based on our evaluation and does not include material price increases or additional labor and materials which may be required should unforeseen problems or adverse conditions arise after the work has started.

Once the car is completed and all payments have been received and cleared by Classic VW Bugs, you will be contacted so that shipping arrangements can be made.

Please also understand, we strive to bring you the best possible Bug.  We only buy from the best parts suppliers out there, but at any given time we do not have control over the quality of the parts we buy.  We will find the best parts possible based on time, your budget, availability, and based on our judgment.
