This is my '62 rag that I bought late last summer. It's my first air-cooled VW!

I'm looking forward to meeting more Ontario air-cooled people at the shows this year.

Well Canadian VW fans - spring is coming and I don't know about you, but my 71 SB is itching to get out of the garage!

First warm sunny weekend I'll be out - why don't we all try to post some pics of our hibernating Canadian bugs and buses coming back to life in the spring????

I spotted a beige '66 Beetle at the Port Hope Ontario McDonalds this afternoon. Belong to anyone on here?

My '69 is in Alberta at my dad's place until Sept; he's rebuilding the 1600 sp for me. Looking forward to some nice drives this fall.

Happy Spring everyone!

Does anyone know of a mechanic in the Brampton area who would do replacement ball joint and possible replacement master cylinder work? I've been out of the loop for a while and lost track of everyone.
Thanks for any help!

Hi Patty,

Have you tried calling Manuel at VeeWorld Motors on Hanson Drive just South of Queen?
Last time I talked to him he still had a thing for the old VW Bugs.
He's been in the same location for a million years too.
Can miss the place, has a Red 60's Bug on the roof of his shop.

Hiya Sport bugger.
Thaks for the reply =)

Vee World is still indeed there but unfortunately Manuel has passed away. It's been a few years since I was there and it appears his son is still running the garage. When I called him last week he said he no longer works on old beetles.

I called the local wreckers a couple days ago to ask if they knew a shop -- they refered me to Dave in Rexdale, Auto Shop. I'm happy to find him--seems a/c mechanics are getting scarce again!

Hi Patty,

That's awful news about Manuel,
And to find out the son isn't carrying the same interest.

How did you make out with your quest for Ball Joint and Master Cylinder work?

Sorry I don't know of an auto electrician SB--hope you find one soon so you can get on the road!

I did get my car fixed and am soooo happy! It turns out I only needed a brake system flush and bleed and not a new master cylinder. I also got the whole set--- 4 new ball joints and an alignment. The mechanic also spotted I needed brake light switches too so got that taken care of, not bad for a car that sat for a couple years.

Thanks for asking! beep beep!
