The Daily Mail has published a bunch of photos of Hitler dating back to 1939. One show him and Porsche admiring a VW convertible. http://tinyurl.com/2wxp5no -- roger ivie

Can anyone help me. I am trying to remove the engine from a Kombi. Have undone the cross member underneath and the mounting at the front of the gearbox. It still wont come out so there must be another mounting above the motor. The problem is I can't fine it. Can anyone help? A diagram of...

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...

I think my trusty torque wrench is getting a little too old and lost some of its precision. Actually, I am more worried about its repeatability, as it 'clicks' within plus and minus 15 percent difference from one bolt to the other. If I knew it was just off by a couple of units, you can keep that...

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

I want to rob a bank tomorrow.Do you think I can use a VW for this crime or will the cops get me?

Hello everyone! There was awfully silent here (or my news server is missing a lot of news) so something potentially interesting to fill the void. ;) Actually I bought it a month ago but I bought it from Germany (mobile.de, wasn't cheap either, 5500 euros) and it took a long time to get it...

Another problem... After reading and assimilating all the advice and a hoard of postings on shifter rod bushing replacement, I went to start the job and found that there is a solid oval (non-removable) plate over the hole in the fromt apron of my 1970 Beetle where one would remove the shifter...

Hello List! Ive got a 1972 VW Beetle A few questions that John Muirs Book has shed little light on for me. When I open the gas cap should it be sucking air? Ive got a vacuum in there. Its been doing this since I replaced all the gas vapor recycling hoses. They were all original and cracked. I...

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

anyone in this group drive one everyday? -- Karma, What a concept!

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...

As the city has overtaken our little place in the country, we are going to have to move soon. So, I've been down in the basement packing up "stuff". I've been going thru tons of old VW magazines. VW Trends, Hot VW's, VW's & Porsche, Hot VW's and Dune Buggys. Quite a few of them from the 70's...

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...

I've wanted to install a cd/mp3 player in my Ghia, but all that I've seen won't fit the existing slot. I do not want to cut/enlarge the slot. Any suggestions or ideas ? Thanks, -- Steve Mc

Will not start after not being run for about 7 days. Will start when jumped from good battery (my truck) Will run or idle great for any lenght of time When shut off and try to restart, all systems seeming to be OK, (lights, radio,buzzer etc), but no action at key lever, no start grind etc, but will...

I'd like to know the best way to "hide" the door hinges; the reason being is that I want the sides of my Beetle to be as smooth as silk (trim already removed and holes filled, door handles removed). I know that it would involve heavy-duty hinges, like on street rods and such. I just want to know...

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...
