Hi, my name is Matt I live in Milwaukie

I have several VW's


1969 Buggy It took a little over 6 months to build.  It was on the Road August 2011  :2up:



1967 bug picked it up a couple weeks ago, not running. took about 10 min and a battery.  Runs  and drives great



1967 21 window bus My long term project. Hoping to have it painted this year. 



1963 15 window bus it's lowered with a 1641 engine. I am planning on painting from the Built line and up, installing the windows installing the built line trim, new headliner and driving it. Should be ready to drive by spring.

Welcome to the site-o!

Cool cars you have there.
The worst performance mod is whatever you're limited to because you convinced yourself (or others) that anything bigger or faster was too extreme for a street car.

Welcome!  Nice collection. Now you need to add a type 3!
Who knew that a cheap little car designed for the masses at the whim of an evil dictator could be so very cool more than 6 decades later?

Thanks

CatBox   That's a nice looking Orange bug you have there. 

Ragtopboy58  That’s a really nice collection you have to. Are you planning on restoring the oval window?

Kev      I need to start shaving down the herd before I start buying more.  I have never owned a type 3, came close to picking up a notch on a couple different occasions.  I know where a fairly nice fastback is sitting in Milwaukie if you are looking

I as well am now limited to the parking spots that I currently have filled.
I can have what I want as long as something leaves before the next one is drug home.

At one time we had all six parking spots in the driveway full with one running car.....
