My brother's into his "slow" dubs and has a beetle (see "meet Borris in dub rides) and a Bay Camper which were both brought back from the dead  :cool:   - I like speed too much myself  :evil:  but would like a camper at some time in the future.

Having re-built a Beetle and Camper he knows pretty much all the best places to go for parts so let me know if you're having trouble finding anything - I also have a "contact" at cool-air  :wink:

There's always lots of nice beetles for sale in the back of Ultra VW  :wink:
