New Hill O' Doom = FAIL by Shag
I think my daughter may have captured some of our outing on her camera. Stay tuned for updates. Ran into a BIG hill that I knew was back there and tonight the outcome was BIG FAIL. But that's temporary, just like the last Hill O' Doom. I was on street tires tonight. Just testing the limits and...

by-pass oil filters by Dennis[_4_]
Some of you know I use Franz by-pass filters on my vw's and some other vehicles. They were popular in the 70's and late 60's with adapter hardware for vw engines. They do super job of filtering and use toilet paper for filters so the price is right on using them. Anyway 10 years ago I was able...

looong term ACVW storage by pepsifreek
Beginning this December I'm going to be storing my 73 Karmann Ghia for the next four to six years. I've asked around a bit and done some online research and I'm getting some conflicting information. I've heard the draining the fuel is good I've heard that filling the tank all the way and adding...

grinding on turning by Sam[_10_]
When I turn the steering wheel on my '65 Karmann Ghia too far (when leaving a parking spot, for instance), I get a loud tapping/grinding from the front end. Is this symptomatic of something, or normal? Other than not turning the wheel too far, is there something I should do?

Semi W engine lid on 1961 (UK) by Dave Angel
Hi all, I have finally managed to get hold of a 1961 Beetle (UK). I am just checking the authenticity of body panels and notice that the 'Semi W' engine lid appears to be like a 1966 (with only part of the top 'W' showing above the light) which I don't think is correct. I think the lid should...

T3 oil light has never flickered once in the all the time I,ve had her. Gave the engine a wash today to get all the oil off ( annual registration checks in Australia can be a "pain in a@#e" . Had one idiot count the rust spots on the headlight reflectors). For an 1 hour afterwards the oil light...

Gas in my oil by Derek
Just a quick sanity check guys. Just brought my 67 bug out after parking it a few months ago and found my oil level way too high? After draining it, I found it was mostly fuel! I'm pretty sure it leaked out of my carb and down the manifold, but my concern is when this happened. I'm really hoping...

stainless steel brake lines by [email protected][_1_]
I thought someone made stainless brake lines to replace all the metal lines. Does anyone know a source for them? I'm putting a sand rail together for a guy and would like to set it up so he doesn't worry about rust while it sets at his beach house. Thanks

73 Bus, Rear Disc Brake Conversion by CG[_2_]
My father builds VW trikes. In the past he's used the rears of junked out Gias as the rear of the trike. He's started building a trike for me but this time the donor rear-end is from a '73 bus. He has no problems finding rear disc brake conversions for Gias but we're having trouble finding a...

'79 convertible - value? by Gerry
I have an opportunity to pick up a '79 fuel injection beetle convertible that has been stored for at least 5 years, probably more. It seems to be in pretty good shape (body, top, upholstery) and am told it "ran well" when put into storage. The clock shows 70k. It is, and reportedly always has...
