More Mario by
AircooledJohn
It sickens me to see him still trolling RAMVA for new victims. Here's
an e-mail I got from a recent victim. Newbs read his posts on RAMVA
and just read enough to think he's good at restorations, but do not
read further to see Mario's history.
"Hey there,
I was reading around on the samba, and...

tunnel to pan connection by
Remco
Hi all
Just got a 72 regular beetle and am evaluating what needs to be done.
It will need floors, heater channels and one of the door post bottoms
will need to be reconstructed. The engine/tranny is in very good shape.
Along the tunnel a lip exists that one normally welds the floor pans
to.
On...

(sparkplug type) and also a CB mixture gauge. I have no use for any of that
stuff any more with the Soobey in Bussy. Make me an offer. - BaH

Here is the situation.
In the Summer of 2009 we installed an Interstate battery that we got
from Sam's.
In warm or above freezing weather it cranks just fine.
When it is below freezing, sometime the starter makes a little grrr
sound or nothing at all.
On another vehicle with an Interstate...

Some of you might remember me, John. I had two Bugs and a kit car. One of the Bugs was a '58 I bought from Mikah.
Well, it is like coming back from somewhere else to be posting here and I hope I am welcome to do some more.
After a couple heart attacks and other health interruptions, I finally...

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.

valve 'clacking' in 2 liter air-cooled. by
[email protected]
I've got a '75 bus with a '78 engine in it. It's had a recent tune-up
and is a good, strong engine with great compression numbers. But from
time to time it 'clacks' loudly upon start-up and initial running and
doesn't 'mellow down' to a quieter purr.
I recently left the country for 2 months and,...

Shifter Bushing by
Randall Brink
This morning my new shifter bushing that I installed last weekend evidently
failed. When shifting into gear, I felt a jolt and suddenly the stick was
loose and sloppy as before.
Has anyone experienced this? What happens to the bushing. Will it require
removing the rod again?

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
1971 CA emissions setup. Hardly a job worth bragging about, but for me,
anything...
