Ive been looking and looking and i always find new things each day id love to have. I was sitting here thinking "What do people really look and wish for when it comes to their volkswagen rather it be a Beetle or a Fridlon, even trikes and buggies". So im making this page to see what it is everyone is wishing for. :D

My only wish is for my Beetle to make it to where I'm going and back home again without any mishaps! :D

Look for and wish for are 2 different things (to me). I have no wish list or stuff I dream about. I do have a list of things I look for, whether I have them or need them and I am thinking about acquiring another ACVW, just trying to narrow done between 2 or 3 different years/models. Parts I always look for, 36 hp stuff mostly odds and ends for ovals and accessories & things along those lines.

I wish mine was ready to go back on the streets. I've got a lot of rust issues to take care.

I also wish I could remember what happened to my title :oops:

Of course A nice paint job and maybe a supercharger would be nice too.

Money, gas, oh...and more money for more gas.

I'll have to get back to this question after June.

*edit: since I don't have health insurance (don't even want it). I hope that forced-to-buy healthcare bill doesn't get passed by the court, so I can continue enjoying working on my cars.
If it should pass - this means I will no longer be able to afford this hobby.. and will have to entirely dump it all.

I wish to get time to finish my one '63 Variant the way I want it (bone stock), and then get rid of the piles upon piles of other Type 3 stuff. :lol:

I wished and looked for the square clock for my 74 Super for a long time and finally got it. Recently I also picked up a pair of good used heat exchangers for a good price in the classifieds here. Other than that, my wish list is fairly mundane... e.g. new rubber kit for the windows and scrapers and similar un-fun but expensive stuff.
