Good thread. Name is Ermin, had a '61 Ghia and now have a '69 Riviera. Ghia would have been here at GCVW in 2005 with SK plates and I moved to Van in 2007. Ironically, while being here(I stored the car in SK), I sold the car to somebody in Van so you might see it around Broadway/Main area... I think Silas mentioned that he sees it from time to time.

My name in Jordan. Some of you know me, a lot of you dont. Ive had this car since I was 15. Have no plans of ever selling it. A lot of good memories with this car. I tought my wife to drive standard in this car when we were dating in highschool. My kids love cruising around in it. Its changed a lot in the last 19 years.
The first pic is my wife and I when we drove it to Reno for Hot August Nights in 2008. (sorry about the links but I am still figuring out how to post directy to the site)

My folks call me Joel, my 3 kids call me dad, but I have been called many things.
On here I used to be Crank... but I had to field way too many questions about the name.

I've been into VWs all my life, and for that I thank my grandpa for taking me racing on the Sea to Sky Highway in his yellow 70's beetle when I was 10. I live in South Surrey... ohhh I wanted to say White Rock!

Here are my current VW's:
1956 Beetle that I have had for about 12 years that was a pan off restoration.

When it comes to VW's I am OCD and possibly ADD.

First VW was a 75 Westy back in 89? There's been easily over 50 busses since then. What got me hooked was the freedom of the road trip in a bus - Mexico 2x, Alberta, Oregon Coast, etc.. (still primarily a bus guy but have diversified). I won't get into our current VW's as they change regularly...just keep checking the sig line for samples.

I have the best wife.

The little buggy in the picture I put together for my 9 year old daughter. Long
story short she has speacial needs so when we take the bikes to the river we
sit her in the passenger seat of this and she waits for rides. Last week was it's
first time out and she really only had to wait when I was fixing it.

Sorry to take so long, name's Brian.  Brian Waz for my forum name. Too many beetles in my past to count, I think at one point over 30. A couple of dormobiles, Bay Westies, Vanagon Westy, and for the moment, and foreseeable future, my 52 Canadian Zwitter. I think it looked better in the pictures when I bought it a year and a half ago as I had to get all the parts inside any together for the trip home from the states.

Since then, correct tail lites, (thanks Steveo) bits and pieces, (thanks Geoff) and currently have the original motor in ziplock bags. Need to redo a few things that were done poorly by previous owner... lots of cleanup to wiring, brakes, tranny checkup, interior etc. Deadline..... none! just enjoying the time playing with it... and always appreciate the Air Speed Forum...

Greetings, I'm Rick Davis from Chilliwack.
Brenda and I discovered the air cooled world late in life but love it as much as our 30+ years of playing with Hot Rods.
We joined the AC scene in 2003 with a used 1978 Intermeccanica Speedster.  In 2006 we added a 1976 Porsche 912E w/ T4 which is all original.  In '07 we sold the '78 Speedster and our Deuce HiBoy and had Henry at IM build us a new Roadster-6 with Porsche 911 driveline.  While browsing the Samba in 2009 we found our '65 DC in Vancouver Wa. and we just love it.
We don't get out to events as much as we'd like but really enjoy driving our vehicles, a lot!
Look forward to meeting more of you soon.
Here's some pics of our roadster, coupe and pickup.

Hi,

I am Christoph, 25 years young and half german half canadian. I moved to Vancouver from Germany in February of this year.
Back in the old Country I owned a 1970 BayBus and several other dubs. One of the first things I did after I sort of settled here was buying a VW.
Its a 1984  Vanagon. Pretty boring but does its work.
A few weeks ago I bought a 1966 Split Westy. That is going to be my project for the next year(s).
I am still searching for a place to work on my project.
If someone needs help with translations when it comes to any VW Stuff in german, let me know...
Since I am very new to the region I am always happy about new contacts especially about parts, body shops and what not...


Cheers

Hey,

I've been a forum member for a while now and figured I should introduce myself.  I'm one of the Calgary Type 2 Crew and have a Sept 59 'Standard and a '67 SO45 Westy.

Beautiful rides everyone! And great forum!

My name's Ethan and I'm new to the forum as I'm about to be new to Canada. I'm attempting to bring my '66 Beetle that I did a body off resto on in 2004. I don't know how to post pics yet, but here's a link to some pics of my '66.

Nice to see another 66 Ethan.

I've been lurking on the forum for a few years now. My name is Todd (aka 1blk66) and here's a pic of me and the ride. I'll post again (given restriction) with the rest of the family :)

Hi I'm Jared and here is my very first Air Cooled, a 56 Deluxe sedan, which I picked up a couple weeks ago. Was hoping to get a driver that I could work on but this project 56 was to hard to pass up, so I'm sure you find me on here asking the odd stupid question. Cheers!

Welcome Sarge,
Great people here. Tell us about your nice looking car.
Randy


Thanks, Randy!  Wellll... as for the car, it's a '67 my wife and I have owned since 1984.  I bought it off the Used Car lot at Cotton Goff VW where I was working as a Parts Tech for $2000.
Needless to say, it looked nothing like it does now but it was a straight, one-owner car.  My wife commuted to work in it for 100,000 miles and we drove it on plenty of dirt roads in the
mountains and deserts before restoring it in 1989.  The paint and body-work were handled by Becker's Bug House in Orange... no name for the shade of red other then BRIGHT-ASS red.
Quality Auto Upholstery in Bloomington did the interior.  I built the engine myself in 1990... 78.4 Mance crank, 90.5 Cima's, Engle 125 cam, Fumio ported the heads.  The trans uses stock
ratios with a 4:12 ring and pinion and was built by Jim Kaforski at Der Trans Axle.  Brakes are CSP discs in front and Type III rears on short axles with Sway-Away adjustable spring plates
and 25mm rear torsion bars.  The wheels are Flat 4 knock-offs polished by Al Reed in Anaheim.  Exhaust is by Tiger at A1 in Santa Ana... "stepped" 1 1/2 to 1 5/8 primaries with a Magna
Flow muffler.  I like a stock fuel pump, points and condenser, too... let the bashing begin! ;D

Hello all, my name is Peter, from Calgary.

Just found this '60 in Vancouver WA, and have decided to make a move on it.

OG paint, except for decklid. Rear apron changed with decklid back in the day, some type of accident when the original owner had it. 2nd owner bought the car like that in the late '60's.

I got it from the 3rd owner who found it in the the 2nd owners garage last year where it had sat since 1984. He did a resurrection and it now runs and drives fine.

Just need to get it home.....

Nice buy! A little far to go to Vancouver Wa from Calgary, but probably well worth the trip!
Title: Re: Member Inventory.. INTRODUCE YOURSELF - you and your dubz
Post by: PGman on August 14, 2014, 08:42:14 PM
Thanks Brian, and Westy and Geoff too!

Brian, it will be a bit of a trip, but the car is worth it.

It is a rust free example, with almost all it's 1960 weirdness intact.......

It needs a horn ring (lower hoop broken off), W-B crest and a few other minor bits.

The OG door panels are nice, the dash is mint, the glass has never seen a scraper.

My plan is to just drive it as is, maintain it at the highest level I can, collect what few bits it is missing and above all, enjoy it and have fun.

Was heavily into Beetles in the '70's and owned my last one, a '67 in 1984.

Figured 30 years without one was damn well long enough.

Post by: bwaz on August 14, 2014, 09:16:19 PM
there were a few years where it didn't have the horn ring hoop, not sure which years? Likely newer. Here's a quick glance at changes... there's also a good thread for 60 & 61 on the Samba

Brian, thanks for your advice and the link to the Samba 60-61 thread....

I have spent many hours poring over the '60 stuff to be sure!

Going to get the car in a couple weeks, and that will give me some time to play around with it before it comes time to batten down the hatches in this locale end of October......

Cheers and thanks again.....

P.S. Have read and retread the threads and articles on your Split......what an amazing car!

New to the forum and posted these somewhere else and spotted this thread, whoops... anyway, relatively new to Canada and very new to the forum.  I've had the Bus for years (about 18 and doing it for the second time), putting a 400bhp engine in with 915, uniball rear etc. and the bug is a new purchase to tied me over until the bus is up and running.
