I can get high revs, up to 9,000 rpm in my Honda S2000, need to high rev the VW engine in my London Roadster to keep the engine cooling working, and now a hot rod MG TD which I hope has a bit of torque that my two existing roadsters lack.20 years of driving the mini-vans and Ford Taurus company car are finally getting rewarded.  The new baby…[Read more]

Wow!I cannot wait to see pics of this one and to hear about your first drive!

Good job CurtAllen is spot on. Even that quick drive means you checked them again while the engine was hot. Allen said “should” be set cold. I’ll go a step further…VW valves HAVE to be set when cold.Before you start ‘er up again, do another valve adjustment. Consider it practice.

  Jolly good show mate  Dan

welcome aboard. Do you intend on going to the Bug Jam in
November? Right there in Zephyrhills.

Suggestion. VW valves sould be set cold. Let her sit overnight and
chexk/reset in the morning before starting her up. Set all valves to
0.006 and you’ll be good to go.

Thank you one and all. I did a valve adjustment.  Ellitchka was running rough – very much 1,2,3.4-sounding.

we have had ours for about 2 weeks  and put about 800 miles on her. I should say Cathy has put about 800 on her

Brilliant!My Two year is coming up also. Gotta look up the date.

Hey Jfbworld…Your grill/slats are in beautiful shape! But your potential buyers need more info to be sure of what they are buying. Even saying it is a Fiberfab, may not be enough. As manufacturers merged,
got bought, whatever, designs and parts may have co-mingled.Since the proportions in the photos are off, what are the measurements (height…[Read more]

Not to be nasty or condescending, but if you had answered all the responses to your ad, and from me by a phone message to your number and on craigslist too, you might have sold the car before it got destroyed. How much is it worth now and how much effort and expense would it be to restore it in it’s present condition?

Sounds like a good time.
