VW body again

USR612 — Thur, 05 Nov 2009 02:04:49 GMT

Hi again, and my apologies for posting 2 threads in a row, but now that I've got the '74, I just need to know if I can run it inside an enclosed trailer with an internal width of 5' 1.75". From any dimensions I can find, it looks like it'll be a pretty tight squeeze, but I need to know if it's at all possible.
Thanks Again!

1975 Super Beetle for Sale MINT

Wayne — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 20:11:38 GMT

I'm selling my MINT 1975 Volkswagen Super Beetle. Appraised at 15K a couple of years ago and going up in value ever since. This Volkswagen is PERFECT and 100% stock! Everything works right down to the rear defroster and original AM/FM radio.

133,000 miles
Standard transmission
Rebuilt Motor with fuel injection
New Clutch
Triple Chromed Bumpers
Converted to Electronic Ignition
Interior Perfect with matching floor mats - No cracks anywhere
Exterior Perfect - No rust, dents or dings
5 Chromed factory rims with Cooper radials
Factory AM/FM radio
Original owners manual in plastic sleeve
All rubber seals replaced

Car cover and more...

Needs nothing to safety and you can drive this car anywhere!

I can't even begin to tell you how much I have spent on this VW. I'm the 3rd owner and bought it in British Columbia Canada 14 years ago. It's never seen snow or rain and is always stored in the garage. It has won first place in almost every VW Show in Ontario and a few in the northern USA. Featured in various magazines and you can see at live the Much Music Video Awards http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0vmEEm6iMM.

This vehicle brings more smiles and attracts more attention than a Ferrari! I really love my Super Beetle but I have decided that I am going to look for a convertible to change things up. Vehicle located in Mississauga, Ontario Canada.

oil for the winter

msbill — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 19:20:27 GMT

This may be a stupid question, but I'm going to do an oil change in my '73 Beetle and am wondering what is the best type of oil for the winter. We don't have terribly cold winters, I live near Vancouver, BC, but sometimes it can get down in the '15 range. I do a lot of short trips, if that makes a different. Thanks!

78 VW Coil Question

Babynana — Thur, 22 Oct 2009 03:09:38 GMT

I replaced the coil on my 78 beetle. I'm confused with one of the wires on the positive side. There appears to be 3 wires that are supposed to be on the positive side. One comes from or to the distributor, one to or from the choke and then there was one hooked to it that didn't go anywhere. It was tucked behind the carb. Does it go anywhere or was it an old wire that went to the distributor at some time? Any help would be great. THANKS

1974 VW Thing in Iowa

iowavdubbers — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:09:45 GMT

Ok.. first off I am really having a hard time doing this BUT things have changed and we really need the money...BUT I am going to be up front and honest with you, I am not going to just give this THING away.. Please no low ballers... this is hard enough for me net alone someone giving me a hard time...I am selling it for what I have in it... I might be willing to just sell the thing by its self with no extras for little less.. lets talk.

OK.....

This is a 1974 VW Thing with a clear title.... it is in need of some work. It does not have the white fiberglass top on it... I have a 1600 engine, clutch, generator, soft top frame (needs work) and 2 new full size floor pans that will go with the thing. It has some rust on the body, not to bad, but the floors are shot under the drivers seat and under the battery tray..

I will be posting some more pictures on Oct. 20. will be added here at http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=862267

if you want to see it or have any questions , please feel free to ask.. I will do my best to answer them...

Beetle Body Swap

USR612 — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 15:18:44 GMT

Hi, I'm new to this forum, so please tell me if I'm breaking any rules here.

I'm in the process of restoring my '74 bug, have the chassis, engine and tranny all done, now comes the body which has been corroded thoroughly by 20 years of Canadian winters. Someone nearby has a '84 Brazilian beetle with a rusted out chassis but good body right down to the heater channels. Is it possible to swap his body to a '74 chassis? Is the $1000 CDN he's asking a fair price for the whole beetle? Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Daniel

trans removal

Unregistered — Thur, 08 Oct 2009 14:13:05 GMT

I'm just wondering if anyone know about how long it takes to pull a swing axle trans out of a 67 bug. we have a customer at work that needs his replaced and i can't find the labor time for it anywhere so it's kind of hard to give him a quote on it.

Mofoco Heads studs

Housinghead — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 11:02:00 GMT

Guys, I am not a VW expert but I'm trying to help out my old man. One of the studs where the rocker arm mounts is stripped where it threads on with the nut. What do I need to do to remove the stud? I didn't see a replacement available on their website unless I was looking in the wrong place?

head bolts

CM400T — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 07:28:21 GMT

Hey all,

Last time I changed a head gasket (iron block/iron head) I was advised to use the silver Permatex (tm) silver-colored anti-seize compound on the threads of the head bolts, so I did. Engine ran perfectly for tens of thousands of miles afterwards.

Now, after putting new rings (long story) on the 395cc Honda, I have cleaned the carbs, combustion chamber, etc. and I am getting a new head gasket (this week). I have steel head bolts and an aluminum engine (w/iron cylinder liners).

Should I use the anti-seize again?

Any help is appreciated, but I would like to finish this project quickly.

grizz — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 09:58:50 GMT

Hi all,

This is my first post.

However, I am more of a regular on http://www.retrorides.proboards86.com and a bit on VZi and some bike sites.

Right now I am onto plan "B" which is to find any other places where I can buy 2 or even 3 wheels like in the pics below.

Please PM, or email me riankemp (at) Yahoo (dot) com

Looking for 2 Radar/Rader wheels in 15inch, 5x205 .

I would consider 3 as well, if you have crashed one, or lost one etc.

The ones I have came from Midland wheels.

I have white ones, and would prefer white, but not at all fussy if the price is sensible.

Centre caps present would be a bonus too.

Here are pics of what I am looking for.

PLEASE PM if you have something, as I do not always check all threads.

Thanks in advance.

I just bought a super low kit from mid america. I was wondering what year bumpstops off a rabbit i need to get. I was also wondering if 145 series tires on the front and 175 in the back would work.
