Forget buying a 40+ year old VW if you are skeered to weld! 
You will be finding/buying/shipping/welding sections like this:

If you don't know how to weld and don't understand the repair of complicated vehicle structures, you'll be at the mercy of a repair shop.
You will NOT find a run-of-the-mill bodyshop capable of repairing that Ghia the right way.
$2000 is not much once you get into rust repair.
