That's awesome :) - have you found parts any harder to come by as the years go on?

Ive never worked on vws so I don't have a ton of context, but have always heard they're popular to work on - something like age+popularity=harder/more expensive to get parts

Here in the UK parts for these old VW's are very easy to find quite often, I got evenything I needed for this project including some rather good aftremarket body panels. Even my T2 which is a changeover year 72 I was able to get everything for. I would rate VW parts as being resonable price. The Skyline is the one that can get expensive but is also well supported by the aftermarket.
