Hello I'm Allison 
I found my first VW Beetle just about 5 years ago... a 2003 lemon. But I still love it. I'm now looking to buy my first older bug - I want a project car. My plan is to restore it, myself. Yes I said that, myself. Nope, haven't got a clue about cars... I will learn as I go, yes, I hope. This is a project that I'm not in a big hurry to finish, though I'd like to get started soon.
I live in Spok, go to school at EWU, play ice hockey (goalie), have a horse and goat and a hairless dog... oh, and I ride a 2008 Vespa LX 150 ... this is me in a 'nut' shell  |

| A hairless dog you say? Interesting. Welcome! I have seen tons of old VW "projects" for decent prices, just keep an eye out, I'll be picking up another dub soon (fastback). Looking forward to seeing you on the trails! |

| I would recommend buying a bud that is running. It will take up a lot of your time maintaining the car. Buy the Volkswagen Beetle and Karmann Ghia Official Service Manual Type 1, and Haynes Repair Manual for the year you purchase. Also, I would recommend attending the Volkswagen meeting at the Valley library the first Wednesday of each month. |
