Channel, firewall and crossmember replacement question by
remco
Hi all
Besides my channels, I also need to replace my front firewall. Found that
out when I took the body off the pan recently and started poking around.
Also, half of the rear cross member (that piece welded to the rear firewall,
what the channel is welded to) is rusted out, so will also need to...

VW looking for opinions. by
Bill Berckman
VW lost $1.29 bilion in North America last year and for some reason
VW's chairman has a problem with that. There is some group of people
that will be traveling around (hopefully in a Toyota) looking for
peoples oponings about what people want in cars. (how about aircooled)

Glad to be back by
Chris Snyder
I used to post here on a fairly regular basis back in 2001, but haven't
been here hardly at all in the past few years, mainly because school
and work got in the way of my project. After contracting out the
rewiring and engine work, I'm finally getting my '77 T1 ready to go,
and have caught the...

Front torsion bar removal by
Not sure it is a good idea removing an entire front torsion bar. I have a
beck spyder and removed the four "smaller bars" from the upper torsion
housing because of the weight of the spyder. I did find that I had to use
the adjustment nuts to reset the height i wanted. I also would be
interested...

VW/Toyota Distributors (With My Notes) by
Bret Ludwig
How does the advance curve work out for the VW? I'm assuming it must
be OK or the main man (respectfully) would have mentioned something
about modifying it.

stuck caliper by
Dennis Wik
I had a caliper stuck. It turned out to be the hoses. The pressure of
the master cylinder would force the fluid through the hose to engage the
caliper but when the pressure stopped, the hose closed with the pressure
remaining on the brake resulting in smoke and lots of heat. Never had

It's done, I did my first actual paintwork and I think it looks pretty

Anyone near Greensboro, Maryland? by
Noice87
Looks like I may just have to tow it home with a Bug Tow. Might be
getting another Bug up that way. What's the best way to haul two back
long distance? I have seen one on a trailer pulling another with a
Bug Tow? Anyone know a cheap car trailer rental?
Thanks Steven

Dizzy Question by
Bugzai

After gloating how my Bug was purring...it crapped out at a stop light. Wouldn't turn over several times. Adjusted points, enough to get it sputtering to a idle with lots of gas. Found out that the ball bearing metal holder was broke and the ball bearing was rolling inside...
