I'm trying to setup a VM on Azure. The VM is windows server 2008 32-bit. I cant seem to find the image for it. any help is appreciated. I've tried to look for the correct image in the market place and I have only x64 options for which don't work in my case. Do you know of a work-around?

As you've found, there are no Server 2008 images in the Marketplace.
From Microsoft server software support for Microsoft Azure virtual machines:
For versions that are earlier than Windows Server 2008 R2, there is no Azure Marketplace support, and customers must provide their own images.
You can create a VM running Server 2008, but you have to create an image and upload it yourself.
From Support for 32-bit operating systems in Azure virtual machines:
Microsoft Azure now allows users to bring in their 32-bit Windows Operating systems over to Azure. As some of these operating systems have already reached their end of life supportability agreement, Microsoft might not offer additional support for them.
