Hi Julie How exciting - a 1970 camper! Mine is a 1971 and I bought 'him' (previous lady owner named him Dexter) on eBay from a car dealer in October 2009 and collected in mid December then drove from Oregon to Massachusetts, spending almost 5 months in California. I am now nuts about these beautiful old vehicles because they seem to bring out the best in everyone and I am having such a fun time.<br />
<br />
I also had a VW Scirocco as a company car in 1988!.<br></br>

As of 2 hours ago I agreed to purchase a 1970 camper! How neat is that!<br />
It will take a lot of work, but its mine, all mine :)<br />
<br />
Interior was "re-done" by a PO, but that can go back to stock. Body work this winter. It will sit next to my 1981 Scirocco.<br />
<br />
Lots to learn, lots of parts to get. AND keep it away from my daughter, the cabriolet can be hers :)

Hi Michelle,<br />
I am sorry to hear that your epilepsy affects your possibility of being able to get a licence to drive. I do understand. Please keep dreaming and hopefully one day you'll be seizure free and be able to have your very own VW.<br />
Best wishes, Carole<br></br>

Hello Heidi,<br />
How lucky you are. Now that I have my first and have met many others owners, I realize it's easy to start buyinh others. It's a good thing I don't have the money right now.<br />

I have an '86 Westy (okay, technically my boyfriend & I have it together, as it was an anniversary gift to each other - what an awesome gift, right!)<br/>
We got it in May and so far have unfortunately lacked the funds to really tear into it, but I absolutely cannot wait. I have little to no knowledge or experience with automobiles, as far as mechanics go, but thankfully he does. And his father does restoration as a hobby, so that helps also. In fact, he is currently restoring his own camper (not a VW) so it has been good to observe his work on that before I jump blindly into anything too overwhelming. This is going to be an exciting learning experience and what I consider an ongoing adventure. She's already my baby! :)</div>
