Hey guys. My name is Joe. I’m new here. I wanted to see what I can learn here. My youngest daughter (8) is a newfound VW fan. She would like to have a classic bug as her first car. I was wondering is there a way that I would be able to introduce her and show her what it will be like to restore her first car. And also join in with the growing VW community out here.

Welcome Joe! Glad you and your daughter found us. Your daughter obviously has great taste…👍👍

You in Junction or close by? Come on down and check us out. If not follow along and ask whats on your mind.

Please introduce you daughter. Awesome to hear that at such a young age she’s interested in the coolest car ever made!

We will build it if it comes.

Moved this along some yesterday. WW has it all. Door mech oil hole plugs. 

Fresh pop-out knobs to replace the cracked OGs.

New 12V wiper motor from Century Dist.

Need to add a headlight switch to the parts list.

Door dome light switches in and wired. 

Several dash bits installed along the way.

Ive been looking for a 094 trans. Local guy called asking if we were interested in a vanagon trans because he did a 6 speed subui conversion in his ‘84. Said he didn’t want to deal with putting it on The Samba. Hahaha.

SCORE!!!

Weddle side to front shift conversion mech arrived yesterday. This allows the shift rod to stay in the tunnel and no cable shifter required. 

We will build it if it comes.
