lol o yea forgot to mention that one, he is deff gonna need a heater because odds are your heater channels are rotted out and or a dead heaterbox (VERY common problem for bugs). and a heat blanket for the engine might not b a terrible idea for freezing day cold starts!

For good heat in a bug - you need a 12 volt power inverter (12v to 100 AC) and a cheap home electric heater. Knew a babe who had an old bug and had that setup in it - passenger seat was half melted after a winter in Wisconsin - she use to keep it like 80 degrees inside. It was like a rolling greenhouse.
