Whats up guys,
My name is Jake im 18, i live in carlsbad, CA. Im new to VW's but not forums. im also apart of Tacomaworld.com, americanparkour.com, pkcali.com, bombingscience.com.... etc etc.
i do not own a VW......yet.
this is my daily driver now
2007 Toyota Tacoma. with some mods.
i love her to death.
i have spent a lot of my own time and money to make her how i want.
Now, on to the fun stuff. I am looking for a project VW. I really want a Squareback, a Bus, a double cab Bus, or a single cab Bus.
basically i dont know a whole lot about these bad boys. i want to though. right now i am looking....i want something running. i dont want to do a lot of engine work in the beginning.
anyways, just thought i would introduce myself.
i hope this is the appropriate section, if not, Mods, feel free to move it! |

Nice truck 
The list of VW's you made out includes some of the more rare models...it might not be the easiest thing in the world to get what you want. You've come to the right place though. Check the classifieds here and your local Craigslist daily.

Yes. Bay window busses are also generally much cheaper than their split window brethren...just another thing to consider.

thanks dude!
yeah i think it will be a few months before i get one.... i gotta save up a little... ive decided i do want a bay window..they are cheaper which is perfect for my first project. But then you recommeded a westy.... typicaly i dont like those (no offense if you have one, its just preferance.) BUT i have seen ones that are really sweet. I wonder if i can get my hands on a Double Cab westy 
EDIT: If i havnt mentioned it before........i do have plans of lowereing whatever i get....if not slamming.... i looove slammed Vdubs |

Probably won't find one, rarest of the rare, pretty sure they were never made.
Best of luck
