I'd like it better without the kit.

big wheels=clipper kit

small wheels=no kit, old school...

imho

It still looks good though.

Nice ride!!

Hey thanks for the link, they sell the euro bumpers I want for my cabby.

Hi

I am in BC, on the island.

I'm wondering if there are any good Canadian online retailers of cabby parts or just VW parts in general?

Hello all. New to the forum here. I've owned and wrenched on plenty of air and water cooled VWs in the past. After 6 years away from them, I've finally come back. 8) So I picked up a rough 87 Cabby for $400, it needs some work, but it runs and drives and has potential. I have a problem with the clut...
