BugMe videos? by OldIron
Hello there I have the Bug Me series on how to repair your VW Beetle on VHS. I've found all but one in .avi form on-line, and was curious if anyone had that one in .avi form? I basically just want to watch them off of my laptop, instead of being stuck to my VHS and television. Thanks

Tire Pressure by Lynn Martin
I just got some new Kuhmo Tires, 165/80/15, (great deals for $26 a piece on the net!) for my 1974 Superbeetle. Anyhow, I am going to get them mounted/etc. The "recommended tire pressure" listed on the glove compartment door says Front - 18 psi and Rear 29 psi. This seems too low to me,...

Beetle/bug Pickup project by tricky[_2_]
Hi all for a while now, I have been toying with the idea of making a beetle pickup for me to use for work. It would be more or less a 'standard' pickup design, but with a roof rack capable of carrying full 8x4 sheets . It will probably take me a year (or more) to complete.
