So what is everyone's favorite online store for purchasing parts? I'm 60 miles from an interstate, so I'm not going to have anything local other than autozone. |

Thanks! I've heard of some of those places, but not all of them.
@bikelash - There are always exceptions to this, but generally speaking, I tend to buy it once, buy it right. The overarching advice I see on the forums is to buy genuine VW parts whenever possible rather than aftermarket. |

I don't have a lot of options locally so I have been using a mixture of the following.
www.cip1.com
Www.socalautoparts.com
And www.jbugs.com
The top two have free shipping over $100 on most items. I haven't ordered from jbugs in the past few months so can't remember if they have the same type of deal. _________________ Previous - 73 1303

You've got 4 threads going on this car right now. I'd suggest consolidating a bit and concentrating on one build thread. Some folks who can be the most help to you will drop out when they feel it's a ping pong match trying to keep up on your many threads.
Read current threads on the best companies and repairs. Buy a good service manual that you understand (Are you a Bentley guy or a Muir guy- or somewhere between?). _________________

I am 50 miles from the interstate I-40. I find VW parts here in the classifieds. By the way Glowiie where the heck are you located 60 miles from the interstate. _________________ Volkswagen: We tune what we drive.
