VW Beetle and Thing Restoration and Sales
As I was searching for a VW Thing in good condition, I came across a great site for people like me who (although I would love too) just don’t have the time to fully restore a Beetle or Thing. West Coast Classic Restoration restores and sells VW’s.
There are some beautiful cars on this site, and, of course, Things. Including one Kubelwagen built in 1942 and delivered and used in Africa during WWII. They also have a 1944 Schwimmwagen. Just perfect.
The one really great feature about West Coast is that they put pictures up during the restoration of a car. So we can follow along, and see what they did once they are finished. For example, here is a page about Jim’s (I don’t know Jim) 1949 Beetle restoration.
So if you have a Volkswagen that needs some love, and you just aren’t that mechanically inclined, check out West Coast VW Restoration, or anyplace around you that can do the work for you.
If you have no VW, then sorry. But you could, because West Coast sells Beetles, Things, and Ghia’s.

I owned a Beetle in 1968 and drove it for over 150,000 miles. The amazing thing was that we had over 100,000 miles on the original tires before I changed them.
Thanks for making your site have enjoyed it will be back often.

I love the new VW commercials. I thought this link below may make a few people laugh.
