We will never forget. 🇺🇸

Today we remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, honor the heroes who ran toward danger, and remember the way our country came together in the days that followed.

Never forget. 🦅 9.11.01 🇺🇸

Breaking in a fresh 1776cc engine 🔧🔥

This one’s running EMPI’s new Super Shroud, and we’re putting it through its first run here at Jim’s Custom VW’s.

Nothing quite like the sound of a fresh air-cooled VW engine coming to life.

What do you think of the new Super Shroud?

Happy Labor Day from Jim’s Custom VW’s! 🇺🇸🔧

Reminder, we will be closed today!

Here’s to the folks who aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty, turn a wrench, and keep these old VWs on the road.

We hope everyone gets a chance to kick back, enjoy the long weekend, and maybe sneak in a little garage time. 😎

That sunshine was doing this buggy ALL the favors. ✨☀️

Nothing like seeing that sparkle come alive when the sun hits it just right.

Would you drive it — YES or absolutely YES? 👀

Just a reminder we will be closed Friday through Monday Labor Day weekend. See you in Geneva!

We will be closed Friday, September 4th, through Monday, September 7th, in observance of the Labor Day Holiday. We will be attending Bug Infestation Geneva VW show on Saturday, September 5th, at Geneva on the Lake Township Park! Fabulous 50's theme so break out those poodle skirts! See you there!

Sorry, can’t. We’ve got plans.

And by “plans,” we mean keeping another air-cooled VW on the road.
