Hello everyone , im pretty new to the forum having just arrived in BC and Canada for that fact. So i reckon its time i got my self a ride which i think i may well have done if everything pans out.
However its going to need some engine work and as im presently toolless and garageless im looking for a garage to do this for me. SO anyone got recommendations of places to visit or avoid? I would prefer somewhere that specialises in aircooled vw's as from past experience this seems best, especially if unforseen problems occur.
Or does anyone here on the forum have a work from home deal going on? The cars a late model type3 if its of any help.
Failing that i guess i'll be striping it down on my balcony using what i can find in the cutlery draw!!
I would appreciate any feed back
Cheers

oh anyof you with a sickness for early split screen buses could do worse than check out my good mate tobys bus at the following link. Its the earliest !(crewcab in europe that i know of at the moment, so obviously Air ride was the only way to go.They are a sick bunch but tell em i sent you.

Welcome!
There are lots of VW shops in BC. We need to know what neighbourhood you live in.

Welcome to the Board!
Whay type of engine work are you needing done?

Thanks for the welcome.
I live in East Van around commercial drive area, However i dont mind having to travel as i know that nearest isnt always bestest(is that a word?) It seems that a bunch of car related stuff seems to be out in the langly delta areas.
As for what do i need doing? I reckon it might be a case of spliting the case and then seeing whats wrong. To be honest i havent bought the car yet and i reckon i would be taking a gamble , but im trying to look at it from a worst case scenario. I've had a fair bit of experience with the top end stuff but as im here a new and without any tools yet or a place to store the care off the road, i figured maybe getting someone else to the initial work to get it on the road...
cheers

...my past experience i have used shops that do some of the race and show carsie Terrys beetle services in London and Vintage veedubs in Sydney Australia . I found that these guys apart from knowing their stuff inside and out to be a great inspiration, after all every car is a project, right?
