 Posted: Mon Jun 03, 2013 7:27 pm Post subject: Where can I find Volkswagen experts in my area? |
 |
|
| I am new to this scene (newly 16), and I am about to start working on a '66 bus restoration. Unfortunately I don't live in Cali, so there isn't as big of a VW culture around where I live in SE Pennsylvania. For this reason I am looking for some local machinists, mechanics etc. that are familiar with Volkswagens. I looked around on here for any kind of register of members who work on VW's professionally, but found nothing. It would be great if anybody who lives nearby could refer me to some people who do bodywork/painting and machining especially. Thanks! |

Yep, I remember seeing Dale around on the forum and doing a double take as I've used this avatar for years.  Anyway, are there any places I should check out specifically or should I just start calling around?
