I was in MI last month for a wedding and saw this place north of Detriot.



Hey, that brings back some I-75 memories!

That place is really cool - too bad you didn't have time to check it out. It's a family-run VW parts place; they have a 25,000-square-foot warehouse and an Internet-based biz as well. The website is www.partsplaceinc.com.

The building has a 120-foot mural of VW parts - kind of a like a larger-than-life Peter Aschwanden illustration. I haven't been down that way in years, but I remember going past the "VW building" every fall when we went to the mall in Saginaw, Mich. for back-to-school shopping for stuff like Toughskin jeans.

I've made a couple of long trips myself.. Congrats again, I really like that car. You have any plans for it?



No big plans right now - except to drive it when it finally STOPS. RAINING. EVERY. DAY.

Real minor stuff: a new headliner and some interior work, few paint touch-ups. I'm figuring out the best tune on the 1835 - just enjoying the Bug.

You look like you have a healthy VW stable; I need to check out your project threads.

There's really no such thing as too many cars. OK, more than 2 Yugos might be a bit much.

Where would I find your project threads? I need to soak up as much VW knowledge as possible.

VW project Forums. As for knowledge, there's a lot of good build threads out there. The best thread of mine is the double cab Eric and Kostya have been working on. Eric's paint and body work is insane :thumbs: :thumbs:

Excellent. Thanks for the link - I'll check it out. Might find answers to a couple obtuse VW questions. Although I'm sure your build probably doesn't sink down to my noob level. :oops:

It's better to ask stupid question rather than not know at all, we've all been there. Ask away :thumbs: .
