That’s about 2 hours from me

They’re supposed to start building this track last spring. It’s only about two miles from my house. The link would help.http://www.libertybellmp.com/

They’re supposed to start building this track last spring. It’s only about two miles from my house.

Room with a view, great breakfast, Murphy’s Irish Pub and off street indoor parking. I liked it.

Last year we stayed at the Oceanfront Inn (which is in fact oceanfront) on Atlantic Blvd.  I was very happy with the accommodations and the off season prices.  

I’m pushing to get done, but still don’t know for sure. Panels are within a day or two before final paint, wiring 90% done. Need to get all of the small stuff to pass inspection, like mirrors, wipers, seat belts, etc. Also the entire interior upholstery and carpet is not yet started. The Maryland process to get titled, including an initial safety…[Read more]

Roy, it sounds great, but it is a little too far out for me to commit right now. My first priority is to get my Cobra finished. My TD is not in what I feel is reliable running condition to bring, but I think it would be a great time to meet the troops and see what you all have done with your cars so I can copy your ideas. Keep me posted as it gets…[Read more]

Hi,I never tried it before this morning.In your Member Control panel, there is a subscription option, where you should be able to set a subscriotion to en entire forum section or a particular topic.Key word, “should.”I tried it and it errored out. I have admin rights to the forum, but I do not have rights to modify or diagnose the web site. I will…[Read more]

Paul, our moderator, will tell us.  But, if you go to the forum home page, then go to the bottom of that page, you will see “Latest forum posts” which helps to keep current topics up front.  Otherwise you need to search”New Posts” at the top of this and other pages.  

69 or 70.  A 71 would have dual port heads.  Single or dual reliefs will tell if a 69 or a 70.  Looking inside the valve covers won’t tell you anything about engine size.  If 69 then 1500cc if 70 then 1600cc (probably).  

I believe there were CV joints on both ends of the axles, or I noticed boots on both ends. So far with you guys amazing knowledge of the VW’s it looks like I have some what of a 69-’71 VW with a Karman Ghia front end. The last thing I have to do is open the valve covers look inside and determine if its a 1500 rebuild or a 1600, That will have to…[Read more]

Thanks Paul!

George, since you are a single port engine, it is prior to 1971.  Of it has dual reliefs, it is 1600cc and a 1970 case.  If single relief, it is 1969 or earlier and is 1500cc or smaller unless big jugs were installed during a rebuild.  The dual relief engines have smaller head bolts (this is a good thing) and larger 10mm oil passages (instead of…[Read more]

Paul ask for distributer pics here they are, now I did loosen up some of the wiring because I had the coil off so i did not zip tie the wires back yet..

Roy, I don’t know what kind of rear it is, actually I don’t remember because I wasn’t paying attention to the rear but I did look at the CV joints, do they call them CV joints on VW’s? To see if they were torn, dry rotted and such.

George, that’s ok about the Glenfiddich & Caviar.  I’ll slum it.

FYI — The disc brakes are not standard on a Bug — they only came standard on the Karmann Ghia, which used a wider floorpan.  Someone likely used the frontend off a Karmann Ghia and bolted it onto the donor Bug’s floorpan…

Thanks Roy. As far as the Tank and lines I had done exactly as you said, I had the tank drained and I cleaned it out. I was very surprised it was in as good as shape as it was not very much varnish on the sides at all. Compared to the carb was caked with that and other crap. I disconnected the fuel lines and sprayed carb cleaner and pushed clean…[Read more]
