Quick Parts Question by
Rebecca
Since there isn't a good place to get VW parts within 200 miles of here I've
been ordering off the web. Just wondering if there are good and bad places
to go. I've been using CIP1 because they take paypal, where all my money is
and SoCal Auto Parts because I can't find lower priced parts. Where...

Weak Semiphores - are they still good? by
MATT S.
Hi all
I am in the process of getting 1955 ragtop with semi4's.
Owner told me the semi's are acting tired - with the switch engaged,
they want to rise but don't seem to have the strength. One they are
up, they stay up, and will lower when the switch is disengaged.
I read somewhere that either...

Sometimes Fate smiles by
Mike Rocket J. Squirrel Elliott
.. . . and sometimes she doesn't.
In this case, she was in a good mood.
Re-charged the old e-can with new activated charcoal, re-mounted it with
new hoses. No problem, I now have the Wonderbus back to its original

anything...

OT Pickup Truck by
Bill Berckman
In the states, most true rednecks (not posers) drive an American made F-150 or
the Chevy version of the same thing. Toyota and Nissan trucks just don't cut
it. They go to the local country bar and pick up a nice looking lady and
drive off in the truck in hopes of a meaningful one night...

'74 Type 2 Bay - Seals around engine compartment by
Ed Jones
Hello All.
How important are the seals which go around the base of the engine
compartment in a type 2 bay?
I'm looking after a camper (for my parents in law) with a newly
installed 1641cc engine, and the garage didn't fit any seals around the
new engine, so essentially you can see through the gap...
