Hey All! with Updated pics
« on: March 17, 2011, 04:56:34 PM »
Hey there,

My name is Tyler,
I have been on and off the past few years for the air cooled vee dub scene. I was in between jobs and had my 67 bug off the road and found it was too much work to fix for what it was worth.....  ???

So back to the Drawing Board, Just kept my eyes open and found this beauty down in the states, Pretty happy went down to go see it, and picked it up. I left early this morning and drove it all the way back from Renton, Washington, today.

So far I just put 250 miles on it and love it !!!! :D
I am pretty stoked, this year is my favorite for the beetles.
Hope to see all around this summer  :cool:
cheers!!
-Ty

Great looking car. Was your 67 dark grey with red rims? I was working in Morgan Creek this winter and saw a car like that driving around.

Hey

Yes I am glad to bring it back home, 118 miles out it will be staying in canada for sure now lol,

my 67 is actually all red not hard to miss but i have not been trekking in that for a while now,
but you will see pics for that up soon as i will have for sale,

Hey Dave, border was not bad, except a little bit of line up to export, But all my thanxs does go to you Dave, main reason I got this car across border was with your help, greatly appreciated  You_Rock_Emoticon

Hey Jodasa, I will post more pics up, And I am sure you will see more of it, interior is not bad at all, it is 25 years old, but she is a beauty for sure lol

cheers all
