Which would you rather have, a "Porsche" 914 (VW in Europe), a Beetle,or a Ghia of the same year? by KWW[_2_]
Back when I got my daily drive to restore I had a lead on a 914 that had been stripped down to restore but the project had stalled for over a year after disassembly and parts cleanup. Got right to the point of buying it and a relative of the person lobbied for him to keep the car and restore...

Baby food jar lids and ACVW's by Mr. K[_2_]
not for purists. but did you know Gerber Baby food jar lids fit perfectly over the "clean air" outlets in the cooling shroud? for summer. a lot of cooling energy is lost to the heater boxes. or if you gave up on heat and use "J" tubes. yes, you can paint them. black. -- Karma, What a concept!

72 super former autostick by zam
I have been tooling around for 5 years in my 72 SB pretty much driving it every sunny day and it looks like the solenoid went in the starter. I say that as I bridge the 2 contacts on the solenoid, it jumps to life. I thought back in the day I could just swap out the solenoid, but now my parts guy...

Just picked up a '71 Super Beetle with autostick by Patrick O'Brien
Hi all, I just came into this car and I am finding all sorts of little issues. ATF leaks. No idea where to start with that one. Fuel leaks from the hose between the fillup port and the tank, along the tank. It looks like the previous owner clamped material around the hose and kept the fuel...

Why RAMVA has declined by KWW[_2_]
Well folks. I can say from the perspective of myself and some local friends that once the ISPs quit providing Newsgroups it became much harder to participate. Sure I could use Google groups but it was not as easy to use. I had to set up an alt ID so that my gmail account was not made visible,...

Does anybody know what goes into the center of the flywheel on an '82 Vanagon? I thought it was the pilot bearing, but it doesn't fit. Is the hole just empty? Thanks.
