Greetings, Some time ago, on ebay, I bought a pair of NOS type 4 heads. The part no. is 211 101 351A. It is my limited understanding that the early 411 Volksies, although they had a type 4 engine, used a different head from the early 70s buses, which, in turn were different from the heads on the...

Do they come out the top or the bottom? I'm going to make a press to get them out but didn't want to shove them out the wrong way. I lube the hell out of one hinge and it keeps getting so tight I'm afraid I'll start cracking the body around the hinge.

My 67' fiberglass buggy is eating speedo cables like crazy. I go through 3-4 in a good summer. What might I be doing wrong ? Maybe routing ? Although I don't have any tight bends in the cable. Thanks, Iowa883

I'm looking for a GOOD auto painter in the Hudson Valley area. $$ is not the issue - I'm looking for a quality shop that will do a restoration level paint job. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance - David

Greetings, all, So after a couple year hiatus, I'm back with another question. I've decided to burn in my engine I'm building out of the bus, and need some ideas on how to construct an engine stand that will hold the fully assembled engine, supply fuel and electricity safely, and leave me...

new config, simple test... please ignore

hey all, does anyone have any experience with that primer paint that 'sprays on clear and turns rust into black primer'? i am working the surface rust off of my 72 t3 and was wondering if that stuff was any good. thanx! rash

Hi, I have to install new sound absorbing material in the engine compartment. My Mexibeetle doesn't have any installed. What is the BEST firewall material available today? I can't imagine that the old tarboard firewall stuff that was used 30 or 40 years ago is still state of the art. Found some...

If you had a choise of either of these for a daily driver or a Baja daily driver which would you pick ? I have a guy that has both for sale and he asked me which I wanted. I am considering making it into a baja licensed for the street. Which would you pick for my application ? Thanks, Iowa883

This is a problem I have posted before. I utilized some of the suggestions offered here, but........ After aligning the doors vertically so the latches align and the top and/or bottom of the doors don't rub, the doors now rub towards the rear where the latch is. After checking things over again, I...

Hey All, I've been a long time lurker and now a first time poster. I've been reading ramva on and off since '98 and thought it about time to post and introduce myself. I live in Seattle and bought a '66 vert (yukon rust colored) that is in definite need of restoration. The reason I'm posting is...

The old Kraco radio in my 74 has now bit the dust. Looking on the net all the sterio stores say nothing will fit : ( I downloaded some specs for a Montreal Blaupunkt reciever size 170mm by46mm by 170mm deep. The width is ok ,the height is very very close ,the depth i have know idea! Has anyone...

Check out this link and see what someone thinks his car is worth. http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=205764 I had my car for sale for $2395.00 and it did not sell and had it on Ebay with a $2000 reserve and it did not sell. This guy wants $14500 for his beat up old car because...

I have been bidding /watching a used early 80's blue dot radio to put in my 74 bug. I can't believe the thing ended up selling for almost $80! Add shipping & its almost $100. I think that is crazy! Why are these old radios so valuable?

Gentlemen, Here's a knotty little problem for you to chew on... About 12 years ago, I bought an unfinished 1970 baja project. The seller decided to move on to Corvettes. With the deal I got a more or less "finished" baja kit, new rims, a set of new off-road tires, new interior, re-done...

Found a VW "Junkyard" today . I am thinking about getting one to turn into a Baja . It is a 66 with a gasoline heater, there is also a spare heater in the back seat. How much are gas heaters going for ? They are complete and they want $100 for the whole car minus the engine. Iowa883

Here's the deal. My '68 westy took a shot in the nose before I owned it. This pushed the A (hinge) pillar back a tad and the doors don't line up and close correctly. I am going to try moving them back using a porta power press. Unfortunately a previous owner just bent the doors until they closed,...
