Hey Group, I'm about to completely replace the floor pans on my 76 SB Vert and would like some pointers from some of you who have done this. I know you must take a multitude of measurements before cutting out the old pans so that you get the bolt holes in the right spot to fit the body. Are any of...

Okay guys, I appreciate the input on my previous question about floor pans. I think I will relocate the frame to the car, slide in the replacement pans and jacking points and then weld them in after bolting to the body. (Takes care of alignment!) Next Question(s).... I have only replaced sections...

Okay, The frame is under the chassis and the pans are in place. Do I drill holes and spot weld the pans to the tunnel or just weld at the edge of the pans? Does it matter? And do I paint the joint before or after I put body/seam sealer on the joint? Thanks, you guys have been a ton of help! Charles

I just ordered Floor Pans which I will probably put on my 68 VW nug I am restoring. I went by a welding place and he said that he has never done that before but was doing it to his VW Thing. He said 45 dolars a hour and best if the body is off. Besides taking the body off is there anything i can...

I am aware that the beetle repo floor pans these days have a couple problems: 1. the metal they are made of is of rather low quality 2. there are problems getting the front tracking to fit and work properly My main question is this: Dose anyone know of a company which makes stainless steel floor...

HI all. Im looking to replace my engine and floorpans in my 74 thing. My welder wants to know if the floorpans get welded from the top or bottom, I.e. are we going to want a lift? Do I understand correctly that Giha pans are what fit the thing? As for the engine I have looked around and...

Forgot to mention in my previous post.....are there any event coming up in Florida (central/south)? Are there any bug clubs in the Sarasota/Venice area anymore?

Florida Girls... Three men were sitting together bragging about how they had given their new wives duties. The first man had married a woman from Alabama, and bragged that he had told his wife she was going to do all the dishes and house cleaning that needed done at their house. He said that it...

The other night I heard there was a terrible crash up near me. The person said it was an 18 window bus .. Near Deltona and I-4 .. Anyone hear of this ... who it was or what happened ?? My bus is getting a new inside this month. New panels and insulation .. Not because of weather, just so I...

Whats the consensus of opinion on flushing oil?. The idea seems reasonable. I,m sure my 70 Squareback still running original engine has collected some gunge internally but on the basis "if it aint broke dont fix it" I,m inclined to leave it. Cheers John

If I was to have my 1990 VW van's transmission "flushed" what is the standard procedure used by most shops? That is, do they remove the pan and strainer and clean out the gunk first, then replace it and start the pump or ?? Also, just what is the flushing fluid? Thanks!

Hi, got a used trainny to replace mine. I think rear seal is a bit worn and input shaft moves around a bit. Is that normal? I will replace most of the seals. like o-rings on cover plates and paper gaskets. Besides this is there a fluid for flushing vw transmission. What is the procedure? Or do...

Okay, this is getting weirder. Once we get above 45mph in the Wonderbus, a rattling, fluttering sound comes out of the driver's side fresh air vent on the dashboard. It sounds like a playing card rattling around. If I close the vent, the sound stops. If I pull out the round grille the sound stops,...

Anyone ever fly somewhere where bugs don't rot to get one and drive it home?? To get a clean one for a cheap. You think changing the oil, new points, alternator belt , grease the front end is about all you need to do to get it home. Anyone carry a gallon of water in an antifreeze bottle in...

Is the inside diameter of a 1200cc 6 volt ring gear the same as the 1600cc dual port 12 volt ring gear?

Does anybody know what goes into the center of the flywheel on an '82 Vanagon? I thought it was the pilot bearing, but it doesn't fit. Is the hole just empty? Thanks.
