it's amazing how many people don't even know what a Karmann Ghia is. I tell them , Oh, it's a VW. Yesterday someone asked if the engine was also in the rear. I said I hope so. Well, the engine rarely falls out. I have heard of engines getting stolen when left on the side of the road. Run out of...

Sam's 72 super was brought to me to find where water was coming in and had to be completely redone due to poor quality repair work. http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2507757970101866121QMNkLG Mario

Dear Sirs: Can anyone point me to any information on the installation of the one piece window kits for my 72 bug? I can't find the instructions that came with the kit that I have.. Thanks, Ken Hamilton

I'm starting to work on my old 67. It's been awhile since I've had time to do anything with it. So, I need some parts. Nothing major, just some basic stuff like carb rebuild kit, chrome lug bolts & center caps for Empi 5 spokes, new exhaust, etc... Went to a few local places trying to find the...

Had a great weekend testing the new tires on the back of my Baja. Super Swamper TSL Radials, 30/10.50-15's... These tires really rock. First test was this rock that looked like it should have a Bug crawling on it... This was Saturday. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzmHOaSEJyU

Hi, It's me again. I have two upgrades on my mind for my 1972 bug. The first one is the cilinder+piston upgrade in my previous post, and the second is the purchase of an adjustable puma beam. How would the car behave with standard shocks if lowered? I guess the guys at hoffmann-speedster.com don't...

You are dreaming, or you are trying to spam others. At any rate, it will not work and, despite what you said, is probably illegal. The only answer for financial gain is good old-fashioned honest hard work. There are no short cuts.

I want exhaust headers and still want my heater. Anyone got some good ideas so I don't have to go back to my old exhaust system to get heat. I was starting to think I might install a remote oil cooler and force air through that? I just don't want pressurized hot oil in the cabin! If anyone has...

Hi Group, I need to remove the pins from the door hinges of my 77 vert. Any body got any experience with this? I have tried banging them out with a punch and hammer. They didn't budge and I'm concerned about ruining the rivets and/or door to hinge connection. Can they be pressed out? What's the...

I'm looking for a ready to run (all accessories) type 1 used engine for use in testing an aircraft propeller. I would like to get 100hp at around 3500 rpm (I'll have a gear reduction so my prop speed will be lower). I don't need a rebuilt engine as this will just be run on a test stand. I'm not...

Does anyone know of a source for a manual, or any tuning/setting information for a Pierburg 34 PICT 30 caburetor? -- Randall Brink Author 1970 VW Type 1 1973 Mercedes-Benz W115 240D

Volkswagen vindicated by its new Rabbit When practically everybody in the car business abandoned hatchbacks as if they were infected with some sort of bird flu, Volkswagen stubbornly stuck to the design with its Golf. at http://www.washtimes.com/autoweekend/20070111-081354-3828r.htm
