Photographer, would probably explain why the site is half in Jap. writing. I think Geoff took the car down one year for the classic i think?

And I rememeber that car having a rust issue on the side of the hood:

I remember this being for sale at the Great Canadian VW Show.
The new owner Shin is a nice guy!

No Shane wasn't . I do remember that the car was I think a one owner? Inside was great except headliner.

Post by: Krautbucket on October 24, 2008, 12:36:54 AM: Hey Shawn ,

I talked with Brett today at work , and yes this was his old car , he was not the original owner but he bought it as a one owner trade in at VW pacific back in the 70s . I was pretty sure it was his old car when I saw your post the first time as he was offering me the car back around the time he sold it for , I think he wanted $4000.00 .

Post by: vwshawn on October 24, 2008, 11:53:04 AM: Bingo, again.
When I met Shin at the West Coast Classic Open House, he had a VW Pacific Plate Frame.
I told him, I remember his car in BC

Title: Re: Dwayne,remember this car?
Post by: Krautbucket on October 26, 2008, 12:10:20 AM: You could be right about that , I don't think Brett took it down south , I remember him telling me it went down south but that may very well have been after he sold it .
