VW guy new to Parksville

[mike43sc]

Hello all, my name is Mike and I moved to Parksville in the spring. I have been into air cooled VW’s for almost 30 years. My first beetle was one I bought while with the UN in Yugoslavia in 1995. It was a 1303s black super beetle with a 1300 engine. It was built in Sarajevo in 1980. I next owned a 1974 standard, 1957 oval, 1966, 1967, and two 1954’s. Most were minor fixer uppers except for my last 54 which I fully restored over 8 years and had painted in Iceland Green. I finished this car while living in Victoria area and drove it and took it to shows for a few years. 1 1/2 years ago I came across a new project I had to take on, which I purchased and shortly after sold my 54. It is a reproduction Schwimmwagen project. If you are interested in checking out my progress on it you can see my build thread at the following link:
