Congrats on the new (old) car! I would definately go for the disk conversion, they arent that much money, pick up the current VW Trends or Hot VW's and take a look at some of the add's in there. If you want an active VW forum check out
www.shoptalkforums.com, best VW message board on the net. Another awesome site to check out is
www.thesamba.com, they have classifieds and TONS of pictures, both very active.
