Here she sits. A very good start to upgrade / finish. Personally I have not yet inspected the car. Jason at AZPConcepts and I are going over this week to take an up-close and personal look and get a final plan. From looking at the pictures looks like glass, rear fenders, mirrors, some fab work re: possible nerf bars, address some potential safety issues, etc. Would really like to swing a full paint job. That is the one thing that will cost the most. If you are in the Phoenix area and can work a spray gun, let me know. I figure we can have a pizza and wet sanding party on day to get the prep done with minimal costs.

EXCELLENT project. I'll look around the shop to see if I have some things that might help.

Yes, we have a build thread there as well. Trying to get soe VW folks to chip in - ride is pure VW baja.

Thanks for the kind words, but you just don't know me well enough. Then I am pure evil.

Sign me up for the rear fenders Yummi. Find what looks good and send me the link. You've seen the car so you know what will look nice. I'll look into a nice set of KC highlighters to go in that top bar. How about a fuel cell? There is one on The other site for sale. I could have it drop shipped to where you got the car.

Let's see, i just bought 4 7" HID lights from hondajim and i will probably never use them. I think they are the 55watt, 2 of them are spots and 2 of them are floods. Let me know if they will fit his light bar.

Pm me with a parts list. I will jump on it and see if I get some donations for the cause. Nothing feels beter than seeing pure joy and shock on the familys face when you give them the car. Good work sir.

Thanks again guys, I am looking forward to getting the parts list put together.

All of the servicemen deserve much more gratitude than they get. I can't help them all, but with your help we can and will make a difference for this one.

Hey everyone just wanted to introduce my self a little bit. I'm Jason Miller. Born and raised here in phoenix and own a little fab shop (azp concepts) out in Mesa. You may have never heard of me and that's ok because I do not take pride in just getting a project out the door but rather doing the project right one vehicle at a time. Jeff called me up and told me about this and I had to jump on board right away. I'm a pretty simple guy but theres really only a couple true dreams that I have in this world and one surprisingly enough is to be at a level to where I can spend each day giving back to those who serve our country with surprises when they come home in one way or another. I ask for nothing in return, it is merely the joy that I receive from it that is priceless so when Jeff mentioned it I knew this would be the start to a long life goal of a way for me to give back and no this will not be my last one but rather the first of many to come each year. So now that we have that out of the way we can get back to who this is all about. I will be right next to Jeff trying to help source everything out and any of you can contact me at any time if need be (480-326-3339 or azpconcepts@yahoo.com) Thank you to everyone who has already helped and stepped up to the plate with donations because as a community whole we can truly make a difference one vehicle or surprise at a time. If it weren't for these men and woman we would not be able to enjoy life as we know it on a day to day basis. I am currently trying to set up a painter and a booth but once again if you have someone in mind please let us know. Once Jeff and I get over to see it we will get a full list together and we will make sure everyone has it. From there we can truly move forward and get this project finished. I look forward to this and thank you personally for everything that you guys can help with.

Welcome to the site and thank you for stepping up to help. It is nice to find people willing to do for others expecting nothing in return but the good feeling you get for doing it.
