Homemade macaroni and cheese with bacon here. I boiled some elbow macaroni in water and a little bacon grease to keep it from sticking together. I fried up about 1 1/2 pounds of bacon and drained it, then crumbled it all up. I diced up an onion and sauteed it in some of the leftover bacon grease...

Anyone know what happened to Ant the Monarch of Menace ? For some unknown reason I got to thinking about him earlier. Randy

seems my wife's ghia has taken to lighting up the gen. lite. It did it before and replacing the brushes. Fixed it for a while. It seems to be a dirty commutator as a "cleaning" fixes it for a while. q. is what is the way to do a more permanent cleaning? pref. with the generator in the car. -- When...

I went out to warm-up the 1776 the other day and the starter just clicked and I went to turn the crank and it was frozen. would not turn in either direction. So, I put the car in gear and rocked the whole car back n forth. for some reason left it in gear and turned the key and now it moved the...

Hi all, Is there a way to adjust the stock speedometer on a 1973 superbug for a different wheel size or do I need to get a new VDO gauge? (if that is also possible) Thanks,

Hi all After breaking my heart, re-conditioning an old generator from my parts (junk) stash, to replace the sickly one on my 1600 '72 deluxe beetle....to find it didn't work after installing it and polarising it, I'm considering an alternator conversion. I've a couple of alternators (and...

I drove another beetle yesterday after its been sitting for more then 20 yrs. I ture the engine down resealed and after full tune-up and new fuel pump and carburator rebuild the bug drove great. I"m not sure why it wasn't driven when taken off the road in 86 and yes I do believe the PO said it...

A friend wants to get back into aircooled VW's. Looking primarily for a bug or possibly a ghia to tinker with. Doesn't need to be perfect, but needs to be in running condition, all basics "there". Reasonably reliable, legal, safe to drive etc. Budget maybe up to $3.000 or so. Well aware it...

Okay, first off..my engine still leaks oil :( Despite my efforts, the same leak I was trying to fix by replacing top-end related seals did not fix the problem. However, I did see that the middle, lower main bearing stud(?), the one with the big nut on it it between #1 and #2...it was wet with fresh...

anybody build a lift to raise one car to get another in underneath? I've seen the commercial set-ups. Anyone built their own? Do ACVW's leak oil? -- When the Power of Love,replaces the Love of Power. that's Evolution.

It is interesting, this was the first VW NG I was on and actually I would the first on the subject of aircooled VW's.. It is nice to see it is still going strong!!!! My computer at that time was a 10mhz, ha. Yep, I am the guy that wrote the Type IV Upright Conversion Manual. I think I will...

I'll start off saying they look great. you should talk to a welder to get stainless welding wire. Or I will send you some, enough to do lots of seats. more importain I hope you well soon. Do what it takes, my Father just went thru it and things are very promising. I think you missed your...

Hi all! I want to get 15 X 5.5 steel wheels. Are these chrome wheels any good? http://www2.cip1.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=ACC%2DC10%2D6623 Thanks In Advance!/tia

I think I just hooked the guy with the zwitter your doing with a chassis. My Guy is still looking for a 52 pan so its a slow go on the restoration untill one turns up.

It's due to the Dexamethasone of course. ('Dexy' to the trade.) Dexy is one of those horrifically potent steroids that flat EATS cancerous tumors. Along with everything else, alas. Which is why I've managed to shed a few pounds, going from a chubbily pleasant 254 to a cadaverous 171. I've no...
