You are not alone.I recently sold a 64 beetle to an eleven y.o. club member for $200 in going order. Since he picked it up over Easter he has replaced
the seats, painted it (brush job only,but looks good), replaced the bumpers and generally has tidied it up and apart from a thing called a license he
drives it along the laneway behind his fathers place and has a ball. Owes him $260 finished and paid for with his allowance. Dont give up. His dad
reckons it is the best thing that has happened to him as it builds character as well as a vw. volma1
They are still there, just have faith you'll find one.

thanks again, i really appriciate all you guys helping out a young dubber, thanks so much for being apart of my rebuild.
just so i can let you know exactly what i am doing, i am building a 1966 VW Beetle to merge the difference between Volkswagen and Hot Rod, my having a
low, wide, with centerline rims VW i think I can acheive this look, yet i am on such a budget it is becoming increasingly difficult... i was just
curious at the moment if anyone has any FULL, WHOLE windows, let me know so i may be able to buy them off....
Thanks V much

Welcome moonlite6t6beetle.
If only we had this site when I was 14. If only there was a thing called 'The Internet' when I was 14. Hang on! I wish I was
interested in VW's when I was 14. So many wasted years. Ask away!!!! You may get many varied answers, ranging between yes and no. So go to
it!
Regards,

wish i had your determination at such a young age...i didnt ever think i could own a car at your age let alone have two. I just had to settle for
watching my father drive, and asking questions.
