Ben Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Hi everyone! My father is looking for a shop to restore his 1979 super beetle convertible. It is one-owner, garage kept, and perfect mechanically. But over the years it has developed some minor rust and the upholstery, fabric top, and other more delicate bits have succumbed to age - i.e., beginning to crack, rot, and tear. Would love to hear some recommendations on restoration shops that could do this kind of cosmetic restoration. Many thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geeto67 Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Volksfest is this weekend in pataskala: Watkins Memorial High School at 8868 Watkins Road SW in Pataskala come out and ask there, going to be a lot of aircooled vdub people. I've heard good things about Dandini's and german autowerks but don't know them personally: https://dandinis.com/ https://german-autowerks.com/volkswagen/ I heard Carl Drewhurst at Vintage Aircooled Repaired was the man to talk to but I think he retired last year.

Otis Nice Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 https://www.facebook.com/restofabinc/ I personally haven't used them but have been by their shop and follow them. Haven't seen or heard anything negative and they do full resto's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
