I hope that I am doing this properly! You see, this is the first time I have ever gone "interactive". But I'm desperate! I am on one of those Quests. Not just any old quest, like a shorter route to the Spice Islands or just some search for the meaning of life. No, I'm wandering around newsstands, cyberspace, and about as far as I can drive on my lunch hours- searching for a VW-a project. I happened here quite by chance, and am enjoying your website very much so. I am originally from San Diego,and relocated here to the midwest in 1993. I had to sell my beloved '58 Kombi before we moved. It was a project in process, and I really did'nt think (erroneously),the midwest could be a home for old VWs.
Well as you know, once you catch the bug, you can go without for only so long. Lately, all I can do is look at HOT VWs magazines. I keep buying those autotrader things (I,m easy), but nothing! Doyou, or does anyone out there know where I might find a reasonably priced project? I'm not looking for a fully restored 10-25k job. In fact as a restorer of old biplanes, I would much prefer to find a real needy bug or bus, one that is on the brink of reverting to dust would probably be in my price range.
Well I can't actually type and my finger is is getting tired. This is a cool website , keep up the good werk! Markostephano of Brodhead WI

Hi Markostephano: I would agree with John that the samba is the best vw site for what you are looking to do. In addition they do have a lot of VW parts for sale too - so you can get your project and look for parts at the same site. I have bought parts from private parties on that site and have never been disappointed!
PS. Welcome to the site!
