Yes!! I like to tinker, I am not a mechanic but more like a jack of all trades. I have had a couple of VW and I was always working on them, but that was 30yrs ago when I knew everything so yes, a new story in the making.

Great info!! Thanks. I am looking to make a trip from calif. to D.C and back with my brother. Heading to the wall for the first time kinda like a bucket list thing. He’ll Be on his Harley and me in my TD I can’t ride anymore and I have always wanted a TD so now is my chance I am not getting younger. Will keep ya posted.

Cliff,  You will have plenty of power.  You will find that your TDr (Allison is one of the best) is probably not very comfortable above 65mph.  (maybe 70).  I like 60 on my TDr and it’s in nearly perfect condition.

I hope you will drive it for a while locally until it is fully sorted out.  Even after that, carry a full set of tools.  I’m assumi…[Read more]

Wow! Good job!

This thread reminds me: I’ve got some dodginess in my tail lights as well. Spent half a day last year looking for shorts, bad grounds, weak bulbs, corrosion, etc. Everything checked out, and one side is dimmer than the other. I bet one side is mis-wired.

That settles it! Paul, where’s your house on this map? And when are you going on vacation, so we can all show up, empty your freezer onto your grill, and lounge in your pool?

Hey, Cliff: Welcome aboard. If your car really has 100 horsepower it will be one of the stronger TD replicas out there. It weighs about 1800 pounds (200 less than the original TD), and has twice the power of a stock VW engine.

A few Julys ago, I saddled-up my 1500-cc(?), 46-horse BCW, loaded in a couple day’s provisions, and my wife, and drove…[Read more]

While connecting the MC brake switch wiring, I found the MC leaking at the top front fitting from the reservoir. The rubber plug that the tube fits through appeared to be the culprit and it was. Just wasn’t pushed in enough. With that fixed, tomorrow I’ll rebelled the brakes. Getting closer.

Decided to go ahead and change the wire colors to match the rest of my made harness. Getting the red (brake) and green (tail) light wires through the bottom of the socket was a learning experience. I had to cut and solder the wires up next to the button connector, then feed them through the socket, then add the heat shrink and feed the wires…[Read more]

It would depend on the schedule of course, but participants in a Lehigh Valley Covered Bridge tour could end up dining in my back yard and swimming in my pool. There’s even room for a few of ya’ll to sleep over, and plenty of reasonable hotels in the area as well.

Of course, if I’m not home, I guess I’d never know if you used the pool anyway!

I think that’s a wise decision Allen.

Git ‘er done, driver her a bit, then decide if you need additional rear-vision.

Looking good!

Hi Cliff,

Welcome aboard.

The Allison is a nice car!

I say you will be fine with a 102 hp 1700 cc engine.

Just be ready for the engine noise! An aircooled VW engine will turn approximately 3,000 rpm at 60 mph. That’s likely higher than your daily driver, and is necessary for proper air flow and cooling. Aircooled engines are by nature louder…[Read more]
