More info than you’ll ever want to know about VWs and motor oil is here. And Rob and Dave’s Aircooled web site is awesome for lots of other VW info too!.

The fender bolts to the body and side cowls. If you remove the gas tank you should be able to get to the nuts. Here’s the fender installation procedure in the assembly manual. Fender installation is on page 27.https://tdreplica.com/Manuals/FiberFab/MiGiII/MiGi_II_VW_1of3.pdf

on my Daytona,there is a large void under the gas tank.  I don’y remember but it is likely that there are nuts 

Plan on participating depending on whether I get my rear disc rotor issue sorted out

It’s only 1,656 miles from Pine CO to Carlisle PA. 😉

The black TDr presents well! Even the wide whitewalls look neat on this car.

“…looks like the $100K real deal….” ????

We bought a mountain home in Pine, CO. About 40 minutes SW of Denver. It’s all about the grandchildren that live in Denver.

Here’s another new Samba MGTDr addition. Nice looking too.http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=1629470

Sounds like the perfect solution Gabe!

I’m going to owe you a beer for all the research you are doing on this swap. I look forward to meeting you and comparing builds.

No shroud on mine. Too hard to line up fan with radiator. Gauge reads 200 degrees but a thermometer at upper hose is usually 185. No overheating so far.

Just received my sticker yesterday. Also received a firm date for the moving van that will take us from Maryland to Colorado. Both to happen on May 16th. Trying to figure out how I can spend May 16th supervising the move and then going to Carlisle after house is empty. My wife asked where we can sleep on 16th. Told her I do have a hotel…[Read more]

“Wheel of death” is what the soob swappers call the thing that gives the sensor its signal. It’s just a five-bladed thing you bolt on where the CV meets the axle. I’d like to put it up at the transmission, but maybe there’s no room there. We’ll figure it out.

You need to explain your ” wheel of death”.

We’ve received a commitment from Danny P. of the Speedsters Group and a possible from Wild Bill.

I’m gonna give it to Steve. No magnets; just a daisy wheel cut from steel. Should go on the CV joint. The Soob computer needs to see a 5 volt square wave signal for vehicle speed. Without it, the car runs, but tends to stall out at traffic lights. It’s also rev-limited to 4500rpm. This thing, plus the “wheel of death,” supposedly makes everyone happy.

No shroud on mine either. Factory fan, no problems. If you build one, it can’t hurt.

Installing an alarm on your refrigerator?

Revolutions of drive shaft using a magnet for proof of motion for the computer?

Flip, I don’t have a shroud on mine but I do have a electric fan in front of the radiator along with the fan on the crank.   I tried a larger chrome flex fan at one time too, I didn’t like the extra noise.   I have a 190* thermostat in her and she runs about 200* according to the gauge.  She’s never overheated but I wish I had used a 160* now. …[Read more]
