Hi all,

I'm off to california (LA, monterey, San Fran, Davis, LA) and i was after some suggestions for vw shops/ parts places to visit if i get the chance?

Looking for 60's type3, beetle & splitty parts.... i'm definitely a traditionalist so the whole "cal-look"/ aftermarket wheels etc doesn't interest me much. Just good, quality suppliers or workshops.

I already have ISP, Pierside, West Coast Metric, IPC... any other suggestions.

Also open to "you should meet so-and-so, they're a real vw nut!/ so-and-so has this vw you just have to see!" suggestions too haha.

Cheers kiddies.

Clam Chowder in SFO and Monterey

yum yum

If you want to buy some items ring them before you go as its NOT always on the shelf

If there's a Pomona VW Swap meet on head there

Hi Kat

I will try to hook you up with some people on Facebook, there is often meets a Burger shops etc which are great to attend and the only way to find out about them is from local VW people.

vw54: yep, pomona is on while i'm there, unfotunaltey though it is on whilst i am in the middle of photographing a race team at Laguna Seca.
I am in CA for both pomona swap meet, and Pebble Beach Concours D'elegance, yet i cannot attend either... it is killing me slowly!!

Steve that would be really great, i don't know how much time i will have up my sleeve, but i would love to meet some of the LA dubbers!

Geeze Kat,

Have a great trip. Sounds awesome.
