mijan24 Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Dave There is a (VW) repair shop in Nonthaburi they seem to do everything up major body rebuilds. When heading to Bang Bua Thong just before you go over the Pra Nung Glau Bridge ( which crosses the river of course) on the RH side! This means you have to veer left after the main intersection and actually do a U turn which takes under the entry to the bridge and heads you back towards town "the VW repair shop is now on your left hand side. Hope this helps. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pluto_manibo Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 I went with my friend to Bangkok last year to buy a beetle for his wife...It was an incredible garage, with about 20 refurbushed models, they did an excellent job..and to this day my friend is very happy with the car. Although I can not remember where the place is, I could get the address and phone number if interested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
