Hello All! I finally got my beetle fixed and picked up yesterday! I bought it 17 years ago and she's back on the road after 11 years of sitting. Since I've been out of it for so long can anyone tell me where I can purchase parts and accessories. I used to get catalogs but I don't remember the name.
Thanks!
Bobbi

That's a fairly common question here. Here's one thread from a while back with some good suggestions:

I do not know how to fix this. All I can say is it all works fine for me with what I use, Firefox. |

Bobbi,
Make sure to check the samba classifieds for your rare hard to find parts as well. There are some real hoarder's here, that occasionally either want to make a buck or two or they are tired of the sport and are looking to get out completely. You just have to keep looking and eventually your part will turn up.
Keep in mind that this is not the VW seen of years past. Parts and cars are wayyyyyyyy more expensive than they used to be 
You can still find deals once in a while.
Good Luck and welcome to the samba.
