According to Pete Seeger, young girls have picked them. Every one. Which is kinda like whats happened with air cooled Volkswagens. Tricky wonders why no one is posting. It's because none one is HERE :-) Their VW has gone into the crusher, the people have bought a Toyota and gotten on with...

I recently bought a 1971 Super Beetle from the original owner. For all intents and purposes it is about 99% stock. The only things changed are the radio (with BIG speakers behind the back seat), the trunk liner the window handles and *maybe* the sun visors (I'm not sure about those but they...

My wife and I bought this 74 SB in mediocre shape and we're trying to fix it up to a good get around town car. We're fortunate enough to have a good local bug mechanic across the street fom where we live. So far, we rebuilt the front end completely, re-installed the original carbeuration/exhaust,...

Last month I replaced the left emergency brake cable on my 1974 Super Beetle. The new cable went right in and through the tunnel. Today I tried to replace the right cable but the threaded end will not go all the way up the tube. I tried greasing the cable and tube but the threaded end hits...

Wow, i posted this a while back. Never actually did anything though. So im going to try again. I put my hotrod up for trade on the samba, and have a few interesting offers on it. I just have to convince my wife that its a good idea. Vwtrey01 wrote: > after a lengthy break, im sorta back. ...

Hi, Trying to help a friend locate a 6v battery for her 63 t1. The only sources that I've seen mentioned here are sears and napa. Haven't checked those, but has anyone replaced a 6v battery? where did you get it and how does it hold up? Thanks, Anton

> Glad to hear your (sic) back. ....a fellow wrote, which came as something of a surprise because I didn't know I'd been away. He then asked several questions to which I didn't know the answers and said so, and a closing question which came as another surprise since someone else had asked...

It just started a few of days ago. I finally confirmed yesterday. When It idles, I put the brakes on, it will start to stall. It stalls when I brake and turn the signal on, but only at an idle. I know it is probably a electrical problem. I wanted to know if anybody has ever had this problem. 1....

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

I have just launched a site for the VW New Rabbit and welcome any comments, suggestions or contributions. www.NewRabbit.ca Thanks P

Hello! Anyone have any recommendations for VW repair shops in the East Bay area of California? Thanks

My 68 the knob came of and the windshield wippers will not turn off. How do I turn them off and replace the knob? Thanks Steven

On the left side of my Type 1 1600 Dual port engine, just before the manifold on the left side curves down and goes into the engine ports, there is a little capped tube sticking out. Sticks right out of the metal. It looks to be a vacuum intake of some type. It's capped, but the rubber is...

Hello RAMVAites, I am fortunate enough to have a nice 62 K Ghia Cabriolet. I am hoping to throw a Sapphire I into the stock opening for purity, but I need my CD's FM,etc. Any suggestions short of glove compartment for mounting the unit. Where to put the speakers? Anyone have any ideas out...

Does anyone have any pictures or diagrams of something good for setting the body of my super beetle on. I was going to just build a square frame out of wood and put some casters on it, but the drivers side rocker is shot and I'm not sure how well it would set on there, and I'll need to get at the...

i'm looking for old ads, brochures and more good looking stuff for our retro portal http://www.best-classics.de maybe you can send us some good looking stuff?

Hey guys, Do I risk p*****g a lot of folks off by posting a question both here and on the likes of the Samba/Shoptalk forums? What's the netiquette for posting the same question to multiple groups? Different groups do seem to have their own followers; I'm sure most of us tend to frequent them all...

What can I put on the floor pans and extra luggage area to keep them from rusting? Where do I get the stuff? And can I paint over it to match the color of my car or make it black (if it isn't already black). Soon I will have the extra luggage piece out of the 72 Supper and ready to weld in my 71...
