Hey, Phillip! Welcome to the forum.
Your problem sounds solvable. Can you tell us the manufacturer of your steering wheel? Or better yet, show us a picture? It’s a little fiddly to upload a pic to this site but I think that process is going to change within the next week or two.Meanwhile: have you tried ebay search and amazon search? I put in “VW… -

I’ll add that to the list of things to do.
I’m currently in the middle of a large scale garage remodel (tore down everything but the walls) and am currently installing steel roof. I hope to have that finished this week and pick Zella up and have her sitting in my brothers shop to keep his Mustangs company until my garage is done and she can come… -

Back together again. Chrome bolts and nuts and washers with stainless on the bonnet. Took it for a short run and seems to be tracking very nicely. I also cut a one inch hole over the box and bought a 1 inch plastic plug. Need to find a one inch chrome one! 🙂

Don’t forget to change out the Transmission fluid as well. I added a “Ford Starter Old Style Relay” to help start a hot VW engine. It also helps to improve starting, due to some possible deterioration/corrosion of older starting circuit wiring. Be sure to take lots of before and after restoration pictures, as we like to have you share with us…[Read more]

I live in Vegas. LOL. If rain is remotely in the forecast, I’m not going out. And if I totally misjudge the situation, I’m already screwed because I don’t have any side curtains or any way of adding them.I’ve long since come to the conclusion that I wasted my time and money pu… -

Just read we’ll be migrating to a new forum, but here are some of my add-ons to Edsnova’s BCW “VW-Based-home-built” features list from a Front-Engined GM/Chevette Factory Built perspective.
99.9% of Ed’s information is the same but there are some slight differences.Seats on the front engined cars (FE) are adjustable on the bottoms – probably with… -

Well I got it all apart. The Nuts and bolts that were used had chrome head caps but the treads were rusted very badly. I had to destroy the chrome caps to get the bolts out. (vice grips will do that) I plan an replacing all of the nuts and bolts with stainless so If I have to ever do this again it should be a simple process. The previous owner had…[Read more]
