 |
|
I am looking to have my 65 Beetle restored.
I was looking to have a body-off paint job and have the chassis powdercoated and sealed.
Does anyone know of a good place to have these things done in the Greater Philadelphia Area? If not in the immediate area, i would be willing to take a trip.
Thanks in advance.

the thread title is a little confusing...Philly is in the SE
http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?p=672360
Wagenwerks
1002 E Willow Grove Ave
Glenside, PA 19038
(215) 836-2506
Precision VW
1525 Belfield Ave
Philadelphia, PA 19141
215-329-4411
These are the places I know of. Haven't used either, but I've heard good things about Wagenwerks. I'm pretty new to the scene, but there are a couple of Philly guys on the boards that might more help. |

This thread seemed as good as any to resurrect.
Looking for restoration work for my 1971 bus. Just a wee bit-o-rust around the windshield (mostly). Otherwise a straight, original paint, bus.

Camden has gone through a lot of changes, it's not as bad as it once was. Think of how bad Hoboken once was and now look at what it is today !

My band is playing on the Battleship NJ in two weeks. That's docked on the NJ side of the river so I'll be in Camden. I will check out the area.

I think it was just 2 or 3 years ago that Camden, NJ was the murder capital of the United States. It ranked number one. Most of the improvements have been like putting lipstick on a pig.

There is a heavy police presents for all the waterfront attractions. Its once you leave that area that things get bad quickly. |

Bus still needs this work done. Is this area simply out of good body-guys or are they all in hiding?
