Great place for various parts
I bought a clutch setup from this guy. He has been on the vortex for awhile and has a good reputation for having rare, interesting parts.
They just started harassing him and he can't sell over there anymore.
A bunch of good stuff, check it out:

I bought a set of front brake calipers, from "vw pieces", a while back.
When I received the package, I noticed that the shipping charge had
had come to $5.00 MORE than the amount he'd thought it would cost.
I contacted him and pointed out that he'd lost money on the transaction,
but he just said he'd take the $5.00 loss.
However, I sent him down the $5.00 anyway. A deal is a deal.
"Vw pieces" is a real honest, decent guy to deal with and it was a pleasure doing business with him.

Thanks for the kind words duffer,

It's all good. There is alot of time involved moving parts. With little in return. I like to help people out, finding parts for the old cars. Keeping them running & on the road. People do not realize locating parts is just as important as they guy that helps with repair advice. I say "if I do not have it, I usually know where to get it." I have always driven 20+ year old VW's daily. Having parts & knowing where to get parts is essential. Here in Pennsylvania I can not go to the local auto parts store to get a part for the 68 bus or the diesel jetta for that matter. I attend about 10 VW shows a year & spend the day in the swap meet. I have also learned to follow up on leads of shop closings etc. We do have a few good junkyards here too. I like to hit them at least once a month. PA is the home of the bunny so there usually a bunch around. I am not a business at all. My Garge is for my own personal use. The parts I have were bought, pulled & ordered for my own personal intent. If some needs something, I will help if I can. Today I helpd a guy find NOS tail lights for a 75 rabbit & some GTD badges. I did not sell these parts. All I got was a Thank You. Actually he said "you the man." That alone was worth my time.
On that note this is Jack's site. If you need anything ask him first. I do not want to be in the same situation again.

A question for vwpieces
Do you have a list of what you have so I don't have to go through all of the pictures?

The stuff he has is always changing. There's no way he could keep an up-to-date list.
The pictures are just a sample of what he has.
Any list would just be a sample as well.
...so enjoy the picture show.
