Been a while since I updated this...I've had a few VWs come & go since then. I still have the purple ragtop & the red 64.

I picked up a couple buggies but they didn't stay long. :(
Image

Then I had a single cab for a short time...a very short time.
Image

Then, I bought a 67...was my semi-daily driver for about 9 months.
Image
painted
Image
I sold it to free up $$$ for other projects.

I have a good 67 body for sale with no chassis.
Image

Then a super vert came and went in a few days.
Image

Which just made me want a vert so I picked up this 62 that is one of my current projects.

Update:
I redid all the brakes on the vert and got it running pretty good. It got different wheels/ tires and a 4" narrowed beam and then I sold it. :(
Image

I flipped a 64 baja...didn't really make any $$ but I got a pair of pop-outs and a Hurst shifter out of it.
Image

I picked up a 67. It has a 1776, dual Dells, etc.
Image

I had a bunch of problems with it right off the bat but it's better now. The engine has been out and now it has a 4" beam and drop spindles with new wheels and 155/60/15 & 195/65/15 Contis all around.

I picked up a 61 parts car but decided to try out a few ideas on it. We'll see how it works out.

A quick update:
the tan 67 has been claimed by my 16 yr old son so it is his now. I will switch out the 1776 for a 1600 and I have to do a couple minor things to it.

the 62 ragtop is for sale, basically untouched since I have owned it.
Image
the 64 is still sitting about how it was. I have to get the pan as a roller again and weld a new roof on it. It is also for sale.
Image
the 61 chop top has had some stuff done to it but I'm thinking about selling it as well. I have too many projects so I need to sell a couple of them to free up time & money for the others.

Wow...been a while. Here's the updates.
Image
I bought a 69 westy.
Image
I sold the 69 westy.

Traded the 62 ragtop project for a 65 13-window deluxe project.
Image
Image

I put the bus back together (welded in floors, put in engine, etc) and drove it for a few months before selling it.

I traded the red 64 bug for a 67 kombi that I let sit for a couple of months and then sold it. It is now on the road and was for sale again recently.
Image
Image
Image

I traded the tan 67 bug for a 67 westy.
Image
Image

which turned out to have a lot more issues than I thought. I put a z-bed and closet in it, added a roof rack and ladder, safari windows and some misc. stuff. I took the body down to bare metal (except the roof) and then put some white on it just to keep it from rusting.
Image
Image
Image
Image

and I've been driving it quite a bit. It is my only VW right now and I have no plans on getting rid of it.
