Does anyone know of a dealer in the Northwest that sells new buggy bodies? I have been looking at used bodies and still may go that route but was wondering what my options were for a new tub. Thanks, Caleb.

Note to dunebuggiescanada.com:

Under construction pages are a no-no. The site is essentailly empty. I was hoping for the tech on seat builds. :(

He was selling his bodies for ~$1,800 if you pick them up.

That was a couple years ago....its a real nice body style tho...

A few years ago at the woodburn VW car show,, there was a guy from Jefferson OREGON, selling and making bodies,

I didn't care for what he did with the head light mounts, because he have some huge recess The bodies where just over 800
