Built from the Ground Up — Just Like the Cars We Love

If you’re here, chances are you own (or dream of owning) a vintage Volkswagen. You know the charm. You know the quirks. And you probably know that rebuilding one the wrong way can cost a lot of time, money, and frustration.

That’s exactly why this site exists.

This isn’t just another parts blog or gear head brag board. This is a no-fluff, honest guide to upgrading your classic VW the smart way. Every tip, tutorial, and recommendation here is designed to help you make the biggest impact for your budget — because I’ve seen too many people throw cash at the wrong parts, the wrong advice, and the wrong priorities.

Air-Cooled Blood Runs Deep

I didn’t just stumble into this. I was raised on the smell of carb cleaner and the sound of air-cooled engines.

My father founded Moore Parts decades ago, selling VW parts out of the back of his car long before there was an internet or even a storefront. What started as a hustle turned into a trusted parts supplier that’s still running today.

That same spirit of building something from nothing, of doing things right the first time, of always showing up with integrity fuels everything I put into this site.

Why I Created This Site

I’ve seen how confusing and overwhelming restoring or upgrading a vintage Volkswagen can be — especially for new enthusiasts or first-time owners.

So I created this site as a free, educational companion to MooreParts.com. No sales pressure. No upsells. Just straight talk, real solutions, and high-impact advice that helps you, avoid expensive mistakes, understand what parts actually matter, learn how to prioritize upgrades based on budget and performance and get inspired to keep going, even when the project gets tough!

This is the kind of site I wish existed when I was first getting my hands dirty. And now, I’m putting it all out there for you.

Let’s Keep the Air-Cooled Culture Alive

Whether you’re restoring a Beetle, Bus, Ghia, Buggy Or Air Colled Porsche, this site is for you. Dive in, explore the blog, and if you walk away with even one tip that saves you time or money, then it’s done its job.

Thanks for stopping by. Let’s build something cool the right way.
