I searched for weeks for a simple fix to my sagging headliner woes. But eventually I had to give up on looking for advice and bite the bullet. Here is what I did: I carefully pulled the headline loose on the driver side where it clips in the door frame. Next I reached in and removed the first...

I am in the midst of replacing my dash. I haven't decided with what yet, but I have peeled off the ugly cracked (and low quality) vinyl slap-over replacment. In the process I decided this would be a good time to take care of my cracked up and equally low quality air vent parts. But I can't find...

Hey. You know those spaces that fit in the framehead that the Master Cylinder bolts go through? Well, I bought some steel tubing of the right size to make them. 12mm OD

Ok, I have a rather stupid sounding question -- what happens if you run a oil+water cooled turbo without connecting it to water. The reason I'm asking is I'm looking for a turbo to put on a 1600 vw aircooled engine. During my junkyard-shopping, it looks like most everything I find is water+oil...

I split the case today and found out why the motor was pushing air out of the carb instead of sucking it in. Somehow The cam was off about 40 deg. I know, at least I thought that, my friend and I checked that damn thing when we assembled it but we missed it somehow. It was strange that even though...

Before I actually try it, how can I test the carb to make sure the bushings are the problem? I have access to a machine shop. Are there sites or webpages that describe the procedure? Are the bushing sold or should I just make my own? tia, -- Mel

Just got back from another local car show. They had about 130 cars. I was the only imported car and the only sports car except for the 6 vettes. I entered my Puma in the 70's stock class with all the chevys and fords and even one caddy convertible. In this show for a change the judging was done...

A fixer upper project located in Northern Berks County, PA. I have about six major projects I have to get to around the house, so it'll be 2006-2007 until I can get to it. I'd just rather not just have it sitting in the driveway another year or two. 1981 with air cooled engine and auto...

I still have a full set of full length floorpans, with jacking attachment, and seat rails. I am not sure which year they are, but the invoice simply states, "early floor pans." They are located in Cedar Hill, just south of Dallas, Texas. I will try to post pictures of them later in the...

Hi folks! Let's dare to dream a moment...my type 2 (a 1975) has some serious frame rot and some rather severe engine leaks. I'm told that without major work, there's no way it will pass even the most forgiving vehicle inspection standards in the country (Alberta). Problem is that the interior is...

....to use in a restoration where all of the brake parts are brand new. Should I stick to the old type which needs regular changing, or go for the newer silicon based fluid. 1972 Type 1 front disc rear drum. TIA Tony www.gtbeetle.tbcomputing.com

I'm working on the front brakes and need to remove the star adjusters. I have removes the screw on part and the bottom star adjusters but the top ones will not come out. I have sprayed them with penitrating oil. I used a hammer and flat head screwdriver on the bottom ones but will not work on the...
