I live in Pottstown and am looking for a body, just the body, I am in the middle of a project and the whole rear lugage tray forward to the rear body mount needs replacing, among alot of other spots. Prefer to be rust free as possible and front or rear can be damaged
I will send you a pm with my e-mail

what year are you looking for?
are you planning on using the whole body instead of using your current body?
Standard or Super?

Where are you actually located? I use to live on 724 , close to the Coventry Mall. I live in Florida but coming to Pottstown the first week in June. I would like to check out the parts you have available. By any chance would you have a nose bra(mask) for a 74 super beetle?

we're located on rt 23, between rt100 and 10 (a few miles from the Morgantown exit/maple grove exit off the TP).

if you're coming up the first week in june, come out to our show june 7th at Spring Mtn!!!

we used to live in st.augustine, but moved back to this area about 2yrs ago...

i'll check on the bra for you, i think there was a Super Beetles one floating around awhile back!

here's the link to the show:

august update....it's been a crazy past couple of months...my dad was in the hospital for his heart but is doing better now, my wife and i became an aunt and uncle which is super cool but the baby was having seizures when she was born but is now back to normal, and i've been traveling to Corning NY for work and have been out of the forum-loop lately....apologizes for falling behind with parts/quotes, etc...i finally have a new cell that actually makes phone calls

i'm driving 4.5hrs to Corning from PA (our new place is right near our Barn of Parts which is cool) in the 84 GLI---which already has 181k miles on it--woohoo!!!

vehicle updates....the gli is holding up nicely for the long drives...love the bends, curves, winds in the road though, it hugs the road coming through the "rolling hills of Pennsylvania"...hate the potholes though...

the squareback hasn't changed but hopefully will in the next month or so....

kate's rabbit ('07) got her her first speeding ticket--woohoo!!!

that's about it...Dripfest was a success and we're now planning a Driptober Fest Road Rally for october....

how 'bout some photos...

the giant barn...

1970 911T that's back on the road after some welding

1974 poop brown 911...or what's left of it...

1973 911E that's coming along nicely

and one of the coolest sites to see was just last week...the splitty bus clip we hauled to show after show finally got purchased last summer along with a passenger side door and front bumper...and last week at the York PA show the owner drove to the show with his bus back on the road!!!

and a quick shot of chris' latest addition to the fleet and the OCOD.
