Were going to the VW show in Ohio on Saturday and was wondering if there is a good VW bug ish yard in the area. _________________ Brett

It's going to take me 7 hours to get to Columbus so I want to stay close to the east side of Columbus. The show is on Sat so I thought I would go Friday and get there at noon and hit a junkyard before closing. _________________ Brett

hit me up when you get in town, I'm just around the corner from the show. If johnnypan can Id the yard in Zville, I'd like to see it. Not sure what you are looking for, "Beetle Barn" doesn't allow people to walk the yard, but he has most things in a building. _________________ '65 Karmann Ghia 'vert

Are there a lot of bug parts at volksfest? Im looking for rear fenders and bumpers, for cheap. Is it worth a 2 hour drive there? _________________ 1971 Super Beetle Autostick |

There's a guy that usually sets up near the entrance with lots of aftermarket sheet metal. There is usually several people who set up near the fence with lots of OG metal too. Last year I bought a '73 SB front bumper with mounts and crossbar for $20. The swap meet usually covers a couple of acres. Lots of stuff to go through; everything from hats to jewelry to parts to cars. I can't remember ever being disappointed by the swap or the car show in the 15 years I've been going.
Not to do any advertising, but Beetle Barn has decent prices on OG stuff (rear window for my SB was $20). As I said, he's only about 45 minutes away. _________________ '65 Karmann Ghia 'vert
