Hay, thanks.
I have a 69' Bus that is in pretty good shape but would like the rust taken care of before it gets any worse.
I hope I can get some good work done for under $2,000.
I may not be abel to get the body work and get it painted for $2,000 but if I can get the rust out of it and get it primed would be great. _________________ I have a 1969 Bus. |

there is a place in mt. airy called georges vw. he does rust repair. I took my bug there for some major rust issues but i was definitely not happy with the results. he may be ok for some small repairs but i'm never going there again.
I'm in frederick....you may wanna try mark 1 vws in walkersville. I havent been there as I'm doing all the rust stuff myself. How bad is the rust on your cars? |

I'm in NC if its not to far for you and If you sent me pics of your bus I could tell you what 2k will get you. I have done bay windows and can guarantee to you cant get better quality at twice the cost.

I think mark 1 is mainly a service/yard place. I dont think they do major restoration work but i believe they do regular services.
i think they have a website.......woodsboroautosales.com |

Mark 1 is a service place I dont think they do body work, pulse my wife toke one of her cars there before we meet and she says they missed it up.
Georges does not work on Buses anymore. I talked to hem some time back about my trany.
I dont have any major work in one spot on the bus but there is some rust here and there. I would like to have the rust around the sliding door done first. _________________ I have a 1969 Bus. |
