Just checked out the site, and thats what pretty much want to do to mine.
I'm going to put air suspension on it, paint it a metallic blue with white below the door trim (like the guy from Nevada) with white interior, eventually put a 1600cc motor. I want to make it a clean but somewhat custom Bug. Any tips or advice would be GREATLY appreciated!

What kind of air ride set up do you have in mind. judging from your avatar you seem to already be in to the mini truck schene. Where do you buy your parts in PHX

I've had a Toyota minitruck in the past, the Bug will have airshocks in the front and basic bags in the back, a 5gal tank and a vair compressor. I used to get parts through a friend who had a wholesale hookup with airsuspension parts but I think I can still get parts through him...

I sell a lot of air ride stuff in PHX. I was just curious if I knew you.
