Have you tried  a manual reset of the trip meter?  That might realign all the numbers.(Maybe)

It’s there. I can pull it up, but, you’re right, a general search does not work. Send your email address to ‘billnparts@yahoo.com” and I’ll try to send it direct.

The bels should be mounted into the frame or some structural metal. The outboard belt is easy enough, you can bolt it into the frame rail. The inboard is not so easy. There is nothing there but fiberglass. When I had my safety cage constructed the chassis shop installed a metal brace off the frame to mount the belt. In lieu of that, use the…[Read more]

My VDO Speedo was doing the same thing. I decided to take it apart. I found there was a jackshaft between gear sets that had become misaligned. It snapped back into place easily enough. Problem fixed. Replacement bezels are available on the VDO website.

Search for forum topic “ Odometer” for photos and detailed instructions.

Hope this helps.

Congratulations.

First you go to your own thing. Upper right corner it should say something like “Howdy, Happy Jack.” Click on that and you get a drop-down menu. At the bottom it says “media.” Hover over that with your curser and you should see another drop-down menu with “albums,…[Read more]

Gangster whites are a personal choice. I’ve seen cars where they look pretty good and others where they are hideous. Owners choice as to what look they want. Scroll through the gallery and check out various photos. Good Luck.

It’s quite probable that 1984 was the year the build was completed. I have mine titled as a 1989 for that very reason. Some folks have theirs titled as the year of the donor car, but 1984 counts that out.

Good luck on you acquisition. If it is roadworthy in time, consider the Virginia Beach event.

I don’t know what make of wheel you are running, but I have had a set of Cragar Tru-Spokes for over 30 years with very few issues. Certainly not noise.

Perhaps spraying WD-40 or equivalent at the contact points of the spokes might help.

That’s great. Look forward to seeing you again.

Hi Bill. I ran a 2.3 in my Fiberfab for over 20 years before I killed it. I now run a 302 V8. Theres a lot of fabrication involved to make that swap. The 2.8 V6 has been used also.

What is the issue with the 2.3? No crank? Crank, no start? Make sure the timing marks are correctly aligned and the distributor is positioned correctly. I was once…[Read more]

As always, Thank You, Steve.

I understood nothing clicking on that link. I’m glad we have you.

The link works smoothly. Booked Thursday to Saturday nights. Looking forward to Spring…

My Fiberfab is not VW based…BUT…late last century when I began to assemble the body I could get nothing to line up. Finally, in frustration, I contacted the factory in Florida. (That’s how long ago it was. The factory was still in existence.) The man I spoke to said that they don’t follow the manual. They begin the body assembly from the rear.…[Read more]

I plan on being there although I’ll probably tow up and place the car in the Race Car pavilion.

With any luck I’ll be able to tow it home.
