Title: Hey All! with Updated pics
Post by: willson12 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
