No trip meter here either but I’m not too worried.

Bill, I’m thinking we’ll put you in the number two spot since you don’t have a navigator.

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.

Good one, Schu!  You’re right with four or five cars is should be no problem at all and if we get spread out a little, I plan of pulling over and get everyone on the same page.  It’s going to be a great weather day, 82 degrees, light cloud cover and clear sailing.

Saying that it jest after all the work Vicenc put into the directions. Jerking his chain a bit.

I am sure I can figure it out. 4-5 cars so should not be that hard. I remember 40 plus on some of the Carlisle cruises – now that is hard to manage – people all over the country side going all over – still great fun.

Looks like it’s going to be a…[Read more]

Dang it – my speedo is in KPH – now what am I going to do…

Hey all!  Here’s the turn by turn route.  I will have hard copies of this on Saturday morning for your use.  Two days away!

I have two antique plated cars in PA, Montse and a 1988 560SL.  The PA rules are that they can only be driven for a maximum of 5000 miles a year to an from car club events and an occasional drive.  I occasionally use both cars to drive to work.

Thanks, guys. I suspect I’ll be in no trouble whatsoever if I continue as I have with the occasional nice-day drive to and from work. On the way in this a.m., the truck in front of me, mid 1990s GMC Step-sider with two pitbull bumper stickers (“a member of my family” and “Ban stupid people, not dogs”), sported a historic tag.

That’s the guy…[Read more]

I think the seat racks have to be ground off regardless on all the kits. Just get a cutoff wheel & it shouldn’t take but a few minutes, half-hour…

Never have been bothered in VA – only rear tag mounted as well (VA requires two).

Have the pay one time 59.00 for the life of the car and no inspections. Most Police just wave – it’s a hobby car.

Time to move to a less restrictive state – Most likely my next move will be Texas – Va is starting to creep toward Md.

Don’t need that…

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

And that’s how it goes, Scott. Welcome to the forum.

A couple guys here have put in new floors. There are also “frame stiffeners” for VW pans for sale. I’m thinking of getting a set. One guy has installed them (I think) on his kit. They’re spendy but an easier install than these convertible rails, which require a body jig and welding.

I second Kent’s shifter diagnosis. If you’ve never replaced a shift rod bushing, we’ll describe the fun & try to help.

The squirrelly front end might be any of the various bushings, ball joints and steering knuckles. Could be the dampener too. Check all that if you haven’t yet. But often that feeling is gotten because:
