Well, he didn’t fall far from the tree.

Sorry to say it did not work. Would not hold air overnight. It’s now at a tire store getting it’s tube reinstalled. Yes, they are ordering me another tube I can carry with.(At all times)

Trying the best option to repair the flat.

I rolled into the garage at home about 4:30. No issue with the 27 year old spare tire. Buzzed up the last stretch of highway about 80 mph just because I could. Tomorrow we’ll try the Flex Seal on the wire spokes. An ingenious solution. I love getting together and bouncing ideas off you guys. A great weekend if you overlook Friday…[Read more]

I’m glad that there are other cars out there that fight and squirm and make repairs difficult. I thought it was just me.

Good job, Ed. See you in a few weeks.

This is just a test using Ed’s instructions. Try as I might I can not copy that text to this post. I wanted to just for reference. They’re under “Shift rod bushing, again”

THANKS, ED !!

Great photos.

Here’s a lengthy video of my hood.

I have no tripmeter at all, but I learned to play follow-the-leader at a young age. I also learned to read. This is going to be fun.

Well if you’re pulled over on your way to work just tell him you’re unemployed and are heading to a job interview.

First, Welcome!! You’ve found the right place to find help.

Second, I’m of little help to you. As mine is not VW based, you’ll have to wait for those boys to wake up. The door issue, maybe. If the hinges are sloppy, where you can wiggle the door up and down when the door is open, replace them. From your description, that might be the case. I…[Read more]
