Brian,
You are VERY fortunate to be living in the hot spot 😎 for VW repair shops as well as VW restoration parts companies. Listed are just a few restoration parts companies right there in your own back yard in California:
WEST COAST METRIC, Harbor City, California
WOLFSBURG WEST, Corona, California
BFY, Orange, California
As I said, these are just a few of the companies. I have ordered parts from all of these companies and have never been disappointed with their service or parts. As you can see, from my header, I live in Kentucky. I also know that there are some really good repair shops there as well but you will just have to ask around about those since I don't live there. BUT I have heard that they are very common there.
If you need additional information just e-mail me and I will try to steer you in the right direction.
Larry 🙂
Enjoy life to the fullest - in a VINTAGE VW
