They do a ton of VW and Audi builds, tuning and swaps. They work on syncros and just did a Subaru swap using Smallcar stuff. Looks very clean. |
Good to know. I have heard of them but no first hand experience. Thanks! |

Hey, Portland Peeps. I know this is a stretch.. but I'm looking for a driver's side square headlamp (I recently hit a deer on a trip). It looks like there's some on eBay and busdepot but just though I'd try locally, first... Also, I'm living in the Corvallis/Albany region so if there's any leads down there, please let me know.
Thanks, y'all. Stay safe out there.

Had an awesome time this weekend. Thanks for putting up with us and a 2.5 year old kid, and his early morning wake up calls  Was awesome to meet all you guys.
Here are a few pictures that I took, and a few that I stole from others on the trip (not sure if Ken will pop up on here or not). I think I took one from Harry too, also not sure if he's on here.
Me and my co-pilot on our way out from Hood River.
Night 1 (Florence - South Jetty):
Day 2 - lunch at Rogue:
Day 2 - 5 of 6 vans getting stuck in the sand (Pacific City):
Day 2 - after getting stuck, we found a campground:
Day 3 - we all made it home.

Did I miss something, or is there no story on this picture. Getting stuck on the beach with the tide coming up makes me ill thinking about it. What happened?

| Headed out Saturday from Eugene. Pointing the headlights East towards hot springs unless the weather holds for a Coast run. Where is everyone else headed? |

...and you thought the northeast had salt problems!
Hope you guys went to a car wash and rinsed off the bottoms.
