Welcome to the club, Jack. Your cylinders are under the fan shroud. You get a clear view of them from underneath. If you’re new to the air-cooled VW hobby pick up a used copy of the Muir book linked here. You’re going to be replacing some seals, wheel cylinders, etc. before you get any appreciable seat time in that baby.

Enjoy the ride!

Hi Jack.   Welcome!   Congratulations on your new addition.

Instructions for your seat can be found in the library. All the build manuals are found there.

Not being a VW guy, I can’t help with anything else.

Enjoy your build.

Congratulations. Welcome to the forum. Enjoy.

Always good to see you, my friend! Karen likes you too.

Looking forward to Redding.

Ed, I’d like to both thank you and commend you on your work to make the Carlisle weekend a success. Even in light of some minor car trouble I had a very good time. I was good to see Paul’s return and have your wife, Karen, show up. Greg and Sharon’s appearance was a nice addition. As always, the regulars, yourself, Al and Rose, and Speedster…[Read more]

Well, I think that went OK, considering the weather. It was great to see Paul at the event again. And special thanks to Gregg & Sharon Strain and Al & Rose Greig for rolling in from heroic distances.

FYI, next year the plan is to integrate more tightly with the buggy group. Andy Burger (aka Prickly Pete) and I will approach the Carlisle…[Read more]

Weather reports are very nice. Here’s hoping they’re close to right!

A clutch of us are heading up Thursday (5/14) afternoon and I believe the count right now is Kelly, me, Paul, Glen and Al and Rose Grieg lunching at Maggie’s in Westminster noonish. @Jeni Drake and Cory are TBD.

@East Coast Bruce says he’s coming with a new guy (or couple?) So they’re invited to Maggie’s too if Thursday’s their trip. From ot…[Read more]

What a beast. Look forward to seeing you and it at Carlisle.

I took Bridget to work today. She still needs a good going over and a bath.

Where are you at, Dan?

Beautiful BCW Tom! Good on ya.

Paul, check the map. We’re way down in the corner where they do the judging.

Dude! You’re coming? We’re sharing the Buggy guys’ tent this year.

Credentials for Carlisle arrived today. Number 111. Looking forward to seeing you all there.

Bill, send me your email information so I can send you photos of my work around with that problem.

my email is billnparts@yahoo,com

We’ll see you there then!

Those coming to Carlisle from points south on Thursday May 14 should consider meeting up with fellow travelers at Maggies in Westminster for lunch.
