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 Cool

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.
