Hoping to see the Spyder – looking forward to a ride Ed. I never got one somehow.

HA! Did not realize you changed out your R&P. Fun.

I finished installing new control arm bushings in Bridget a couple weeks ago, then she wouldn’t start. Chased electrical gremlins all week and she finally fired right up, then would not go into gear! So I bought a new clutch cable, and also welded the cable tube more firmly into inside of the…[Read more]

Still on schedule. Racing’s over. The cage is off and the seat is out. The windshield is back on. I just finished swapping the 4:11’s for the 3:40’s. A couple more little things to address yet, but we should be ready. Can’t wait.

Ed and Bill and anyone else coming still in for the show?

Hopefully weather is good because I’m out the following week ( vacation in Texas ).

Looking forward to it.

Good on ya, Adam!

Congratulation on your purchase. Sounds like you found a nice one. Welcome.

Thank you so much for the info.   So the brakes, drums and shoes were recently redone.   The transmission was rebuilt about a year ago; the brake lines were changed as were the spark plug wires.  Spark plugs were not changed yet, but I plan on doing that when I do a thorough cleaning; as I will also do the valve timing.

Most VW air cooled engines leak a bit of oil. If you rev them up. especially with bigger cylinders fitted or stroked cranks, they tend to blow a little oil through the front behind the crank pulley. There’s no seal there from the factory, just a screw groove spinning to carry the oil back toward the crank case. 5000 RPM overwhelms it. Leaks at the…[Read more]

I just started and test drove it like I stole it.   Prior owner changed the engine ten years ago, he fixed things and kept it super clean in his garage.    I thought I heard a knock but didn’t after I drove.   Also noticed oil filter was up front of the car which is different.    I also noticed oil leaking under the carriage since it sat for 3 w…[Read more]

I saw the reviews lol about ten min after I messaged lol they look sketchy. But also could be ok.    I looked up the common threads and it seems they explode within 1-10k miles

I am heading to look at it now.  Any specifics to note for the frame or undercarriage

Could be good. Note the engine tin goes to the edges of the engine bay. That’s how it should be to keep the motor cool when you’re rolling slow. A dual-carb 1776 should be peppy, I recommend a test drive—and see how recently that motor was installed. Google GEX engines & check reviews on the Samba.

I found one right by my house.    What are your thoughts on this one?
