New to site and a new VW owner

Yupp Im out here in the Buggy Capitol of the World So. Cal.
  I see more Bugg's than most ! call it my luck or or it's gettin harder and harder to come by the Clean car's !
   Ask me ? Im of the opinion there gettin fewer and farther between , as to last coupla month's seem's like there's been a flurry of buggy activity !
  Seen it before ! Gas goe's up , Badd economy , everyone start's lookin for that cheap 2nd back up Car !!
  In light of recent political event's ??? LMAO
  Gotta wonder if, restoreing old A.C. V.W.'s dont catch on permanent , in a Biggg Way !
   Out here in So . Cal between Smogg , and high Insurance and Street Racer's and Corruption , Unconstitutional Police task force, High Fuel cost, Astronomical Registration fee's ???? Bugg's are the obvious choice left to Car Enthusiast .
   Still fairly cheap to Register and Insure a V.W.
   Part's have tripled in Cost here last 10 year's ??? Go figure !!!
    As to Pann replacement ?? I like repairing Old OEM pann's when ever feasible V.S. Replaceing the whole side or a qaurter !
   Like Battery box << Just hand fitt a cutt peice rather than replace a qaurter or half ! If it's feasible ! Not cancerd out !
   I like pann drain's under my battery and access plates too my pedal assembly via the passenger side of the tunnel !
   70's nice year ! We runn a 69 beater 8 year's 6 and 7 day's a week ! Use to runn a 70 for year's !
    I like um !
   Welcome !
