Haven't stopped to check them out, but guessing there are several there that would make good restoration candidates. |

Nice one!
Right now we're doing a rolling resto on our 88 Westy that we've had since new, and have kept it up well since then. It's my wife's DD, family camper & was both kids' "learner car' (it's an auto for my wife's ease of driving). I'll eventually post pix of it before & after here in the Garage - since it, our son's 88 Honda Civic Hatchback & my 85 BMW 325e rolling restos/refurbs are what keeps me from making much progress on my 914!

thanks fellas. i was the second owner of the bus. after the resto, we drove it to vw shows all around the country. even got a half dozen first places. but like anything else, it was time to pass it on. i needed the dough to fund another project. im glad to see that its not slammed to the ground with a crazy paint job and crushed velvet interior.

[/quote] Hey, I live in the Yreka area. Do you ever have your 914 through here? I'd love to see it!! The VW place is owned by a sorta semi-retired VW mechanic. Nice old guy. A few buses have vanished recently, so he may be selling stuff off. BTW, his posted hourly shop rate is $50.00 an hour. Let me know if you are coming through, even without your 914. Maybe you can give me some MUCH needed advice on mine!! Sean |
