I have been junk yarden quite-a-bit since I bought my 90 Westy.  I have
come accross a few yards with Vanagons ( which I will post to you when I
get back down to the Border and pick up the list of all yards in that
area).  The one that stands out is Beetle Mania  (619) 661-7170  941
Heritage Rd. San Diego, Ca. 92173.  THIS IS A WAY COOL PLACE!!!  Alot of
Vanagons and Campers.  Will talk to you soon.

YES, I'm still searching for the "elusive" high-roof top for my vanagon.
In
the process I've probably called 30 or so VW oriented salvageyards from
Cali
to Arkansas and everywhere in between. In doing so I have developed
quite an
extensive list of names, locations, and phone #'s which I would be more
than
happy to provide to any fellow listees searching for that "special"
part. My
goal (besides finding my top) (EVERYONE KEEP THEIR EYES OPEN FOR ME!!!)
is to
have a list of every decent VW salvage yard in North America. So...if
anyone
knows of a locals favorite yard, repair shops, collectors-Anyone with a
substantial amount of bus/vanagon parts...Please e-me with their name,
location, contact person if you have one,and phone # so I can add them
to my
list, (and of course call them about my top)! Particularly any Canadian
resources, since I'm not having much luck in the U.S. (don't know the
exact
figures for VW's imported to canada but I've heard there's quite a few
up
there) When it's done I can post the results to the list if everyone's
interested) Thanks Again!!!
