Hi we are very excited to be members of SOI

I am retired , I have been in the auto restoration business for basically most of my life . I had my own VW restoration business for almost 30 years. My actual first project in the world of mechanics was when I was 4 years old my parents bought me a brand new tricyle which I took entirely apart and put back together in its original condition . Well and as they say the rest is history .  I also probably inherited some of my skills and  abilities from my father as he built camping trailers , my dads intials were actually RVC .

The scamp first caught my interest back in 1999 , but I never had the opportunity to purchase one . It just amazes me at the scarcity there are of them here for sale in Washington state . Just recently I found one in a field that had just been sitting there for over 10 plus years . The elderly Gentleman who owned it had purchased it brand new from the factory , I believe it has all or most of the options that came with the 16 ft 1988 scamp at that time . I am just amazed at the incredible condition the floor is still in even after all these years the shell also seems to be in solid condition even though it is covered with moss and the interior has had some unwelcome house guests ( rodents ) for the past 10 plus years .

I can hardly wait to get started on getting our scamp back to its original factory condition . I welcome any suggestions and advice that anyone may have to assist me with the restoration process . Sandy and I are looking forward to showing you all the before and after pictures !

We both are looking forward to making new friends and having new adventures with the SOI community,

Happy Trails Everyone
