New Guy in Grand Rapids

Hello Everyone,

I am just getting back into VW's after a 15 year hiatus that was dominated by motorcycles. I had a 75 beetle and 73 camper in high school and college. I recently bought a project 1974 Thing that was sitting for more than 25 years and will be rebuilding it and looking for parts. Hope to see you on the road.

Dan

Welcome.

Is that original paint? You don't see many original green Things. I had one in the 90's. I just bought another Thing last fall. It's ratty but runs well.

Thanks for the replies guys. As far as I can tell it is the original paint, and it appears that it spent most of its time in Mexico and California. It was missing the engine and transmission, but I now have those. I am looking for original wheels, door handles, mirrors, rear seat, and axles (drive shaft from transmission).
