horn cable connections. spare brown wire!?? by Spike
Hi, Have had another chance to take a look at the horn wiring, it seems that the male terminal on the outer tube is not there. Is it supposed to be just on the end of the tube? if so, will have to make myself a work around. I tried to look at bugshop, but it seems to be down :(

Awesomely Scary! FACES OF DEATH VCD for Halloween! by HALLOWEEN!
For the uninitiated, the original Faces of Death is by far the most controversial film to date. For this Halloween, watch the real thing. It is extremely graphic in nature, and most definitely NOT for those with weak stomachs. This film has more gore and carnage than Jason and Freddy COMBINED. It...

Torsion tool for spring plates by Dane Tyler
Hey guys, I'm gonna change out my spring plate bushings on my '69 Bug this weekend, and was wondering, is it better to use the jack and chain, or the torsion tool? This all started when my axle shaft wouldn't come out of the trailing arm during rear bearing replacement, despite a sledgehammer and...

1967 Vert Pan Replacement by joe
I am new to restoration but have heard not all Brazilian pan halves are created equally. Of course, I will use German pans if I can find them but am still trying to locate a nice rust free set. I have read that some Brazilian halves tend to fit better than others. I thought there was one plant...

[OT] Another one for Kidd by Neil
I read this one today and immediately thought of Jan and Kidd: 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...

WTB: Used tranny bell housing by Karl
You will have a problem with a type1 bellhousing and 76 and up 228mm flywheels. If you want to start a Vanagon engine on the stand, you will need a 210mm or 215mm bus flywheel. I just saw a bellhousing FS on the Samba. "Mike Rocket J. Squirrel Elliott"...

Fire damaged 78 Super vert by Julio
Last October during the Southern California Wildfires, I had a 1978 Superbeetle Convertible, painted red with a tan canvas top that was heavily damaged as a result of the heat. The insurance company totalled it and had it hauled off to auction somewhere. This car was about 90 restored and in pretty...

My Bug was squished! Help me to avoid getting screwed! by Al Gilson
Yesterday a moron in a Ford Taurus did a left turn across my lane right in front of me. Needless to say, despite all of my best efforts, I smacked into him at about 25mph. Damage? Yep. Left front fender, bonnet, left front tire, rim and tire. The spooky part is that there is a slight crinkle...

Turn Signals, Sometimes will not blink. by Sleepy Joe
Hi! I have a ‘73 VW Beetle. I bought an AutoZone battery and installed it on 5-28-02. I think it is time for a new one. With the headlights on, foot on brake pedal/stop lights on, and turn signals on, sometimes the turn signals will not blink. After charging the battery I repeat the same...

Rare 73 bus in need of help! by Wolfgang
Sounds like a resonable price to replace it with a rebuilt engine. The TIV is much more costly to rebuild than the T1 (of which a gazillion were made up unitl recently). Ya might try a local votech school where you pay for parts only and student do the work. They may not en\ven want to know how...

OT Irony by Bill Berckman
Take a look at this newspaper clipping. They interviewed a pregnant lady who was concerned about the effect of jackhammers from nearby construction on her unborn child. The part that is ironic is that during the interview, they have a photo of her smoking a cigarette. Wonder if that would have...

BN4 gasoline heater by Ed Botwinik
Could someone point me in the right direction to find someone to do an installation of a gas powered heater? the original owner of my '73 Thing removed it (and all associated parts, ductwork, etc..) and now I'm not sure how it goes back together. Of course the install in the book says...
