I am in the Townsville area. I am fairly sure there is nothing here, one of the beetles I am looking at has been back and forth from Cairns for repairs.

Oh wow, I didn't even know there was anything like that here, it looks similar to the Jag club my dad is a part of, I think I will contact them and see if they can give me some suggestions.
Thank-you very much,
Courtenay.

Thanks everyone.
Yeah I know there are heaps of VWs in Townsville, I see heaps around everyday, I am just at a loss as to where to go for prices for parts, or where to go for parts in general, I know it varies depending on what needs to be done, but I am trying to make my decision based on how much in total I will need to spend to bring either of the two VW's I am looking at to a roadworthy condition.
