Hi all, I have a '68 Westy that I am in the process of undoing the previous owners McGyvers. I have one question and one problem regarding the camper top. First the question. Should the top of the canvas be attached to the inside of the mounting

specific endplay question.... Hello, I'm a stupid kid who is now a little older and I have pulled my 18 year old project car out and I want to get it running for my 30 year old butt to drive. I always wanted the vw for fun and to learn about something I know nothing about: cars. So here is the...

Thanks Jan for your reply. Strange thing happened. Both Tim's post and your response showed up almost immediately. Your original post (and copy) just showed up today. I have made the changes and it does run much better. Still tinkering. I think I have leakage at the two intake manifold boots...

I'm getting a little bit of white smoke out of the right exhaust, and it's starting to smell a little rich so I figure the mixture is off. Can anyone tell me which adjustment screws do what on my Italian made Weber 34 ICT carbs? Pics can be seen...

Due to replace both axle boots on the 74 bug. Haynes says split is to be at rear, current torn one is up. Muir says either. Apart from not facing down, is there any particular preference ? James

Well, I finally got the oil filler and nut off of my '74 Beetle. It was leaking a little oil and of course, was very difficult to get off. I grinded off the tin and then used a pipe wrench and vice-grip to get the nut off. Actually, the nut broke but that's okay. I have a replacement nut and oil...

Hi all, I've been away for a while, enjoying the Wonderbus, and out camping in our 84 water-cooled (evil, hiss hiss) Vanagon while I have been outfitting with low-power lighting, and solar panels. That way, Mrs Squirrel has a cozy and happy little home to camp in which makes her happy. A happy Mrs...

Thanks! Always like seeing what everyone's doing with their bugs. Btw, my eye also fell on your boat. Nice lines - Does it needs some polyester POR15 :) (that is a poly boat, right?) "ysail1" > wrote in message ... finally, here are some...

Thanks so far for all the help on my 68 Autostick Bug. I am trying to wrap up the work on the Master Cylinder. I ordered all new Metal Brake Lines from Californina Pacific/Jbugs and got 5 pieces. one for each wheeel and the long one from the back to the front. But I am missing the metal lines...

Free Gas Tank out of a '75 Bus --- whole, sound and tight BUT some rust inside so would need the 'chemical bath' that is a good idea on any used tank anyway. This is the fuel injected type tank. A great man once said, "Every time a part from the old air-cooled generation of vw's is taken to the...

The only Bug I have towed with my Bug Tow was a 66 with no Engine. My friend doing the driving said it did ok but would have been better with a engine. I want to remove my Engine out of my 68 to look at it and to remove the body to prerpair the floor pans. But will need to tow the chasis a...

O.K. I am a college student but my job is really far away currently I am driving a 2002 jetta but between work and school the miles are gonna kill it before long at this rate anyway. So I am thinking about getting a second car to just use for school and running around town. I am need something that...

Hi all I've been tinkering around with my sawsall on my bug but it feels like I am doing surgery with an axe. It is big and cuts too quick. A cutoff wheel works well, but that's really the other side of the spectrum. Having used a pneumatic body saw before, I was thinking that this seems to be a...

I am so hoping that someone can help me. I own a 76 VW Trike. The engine is out of a 76 VW Beetle and I thought that the rearend was too. Here is my problem, I have no rear brakes at all. My rear brake shoes are down to the metal. I ordered what I thought was the right shoes (ones for a '76...
