hello, I recently aquired a 70 baywindow. It was running when i got it but it has since stopped. I am looking for someone to do some of the major mechanical component work. I live in saugatuck and it seems like this area is not bus friendly. This is my first bus so I am new the VW community. Any suggestions for a mechanic or a shop would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Rick,I was never impressed with the low-rpm stump puller type IV's. years ago a buddy had one in buggy and he boosted about all the power,Bla bla ect. and my 1600 buggy w/2bl holly spanked him hill climbing up here in RoseCity every time,I'll stick with Type 1's  |
