:)Susan here...
Just purchased a 1968 VW doublecab in Holland. Some of you have seen this bus, and it's got a few issues, but we've already started work on her. New front beam, engine cradle are coming soon, couple of doglegs, not too bad. Interior is pretty good: seats are near perfect, some minor rust on back floor, both mats are perfect. Should be a fun project...plan on driving her as a rat for awhile, then start the rehab in earnest.
My '67 deluxe station wagon is coming along well, will try to have her ready for some late summer shows. Can't make the Martin show...grandson's birthday party...sorry. Have fun and see you soon.
Susan

There was a 68 Double Cab for sale in Michigan? The only one that I saw that was for sale here was blue.

You were the one who told me about it, I think. We were talking and you said you found a white one for cheap but you could only see it through the window. I thought that was you, if not then I am having some sweet dreams on my new mattress. WOW.
