Vicenc, if you’re running out Thursday, you’re welcome to run with me. I’m west of you and generally pick up the turnpike at Denver. (Reading, Route 222 exit). I usually leave mid morning

Had a couple pulleys laying around so I lifted the cage up as far as I could inside the garage and found I was just able to drive under it and lower it down on it’s pads. I think I’ll invest in a genuine block and tackle and make the job a bit easier in the future.

Tuesday and Wednesday were both beautiful days and I used the beast for work. Motoring all day Tuesday resulted in forcing me to get my hair cut. Wednesday resulted in me coming home on a wrecker.
I thought the fuel pump went out yet again, but it turns out that when there is no fuel the pump is much quieter and could not be heard over the traffic…[Read more]

Even as twisted as I am, I have no desire to check out Roy’s pom-poms.

Well, we have Ed and Happy Jack confirmed. Adding myself that’s only three. Possibility of Danny and Bill from the Speedster owners. Roy, Shu? Paul, you want to play with the new car?

The Autocross will be a good place to see just how far you can push it. it will be a safe place to explore it’s limits.

There is a smartphone app titled “Tire & Disk” that will automatically calculate variance between tire sizes. You simply plug in the two sizes and viola, instant answers.

Okay, it works as designed. 24 bolts(6 mounts, 4 bolts each) and it lifts off. My son showed up with a couple friends so we took it off. Very tight to the body, but nothing was damaged in the process. Currently finishing it in the dark brown fender color.

Mine’s not a VW chassis but I fit 15″ x 7″ wheels with 205/60R15 up front with 235’s in the rear. My wires have a bigger offset and I run only 195/70R14’s with them.

You could always go the cheap route as I did. $50 for a quart of boat paint and brush it on. Comes out better than you’d expect. Good enough for who it’s for.
