I see you have a collapsible steering column installed. Who supplied the components for that?

I’m jealous of the zip-in rear window. Must make the top-up ride very nice and breezy.

I could never keep the top in that groove. I installed a row of snaps.

165s will handle very well if everything else is in order

A good upholstery shop should be able to modify the window in your top. I, personally never did it, but when I used her as a daily driver I had a shop install quarter windows in the top for visibility. They did a nice job and it looked good. The zippered window should not be difficult.

While playing with both dogs in the back yard this evening, the white one vanished and we couldn’t find him. He was finally located sitting in the garage.
I don’t know who he thought was going to give him the keys.He had never done this before…strange.

Too many items running through one circuit. Run separate fused feeds for each individual component, wipers, radio, lamps, etc.

Yeah, makes sense when you think about what the tank is doing there…
Can anyone else see the glaring assembly error on this one? -

I think my dampner dampens OK but really not sure. How does one check?Also not sure how a bad dampner would feel like an unbalanced wheel.

I like that one. Dig the color scheme. Nice steering wheel. looks pretty presentable. (Take those hubcaps off though)

Amazing! A 71 Beetle is not in the specs any more. Anyway, thanks for the info. I got the shimmies too–been living with them since I got the car. Tried rotating the tires front to back & no good. Thought maybe the tires are out of round. Never thought the rims might be off center.I always tighten them up slow, cross lugbolt, a turn or two at a…[Read more]

A nice long, leisurely, solo(quiet) ride. I’m jealous.

Yeah, you’re crazy. And I am jealous. No way Karen would go for this kind of thing. Not yet, anyway.

It’ll look a lot better red. White would work too, and feel better. Gray would work if the car was red or deep blue.
How could your wife hate the TD’s interior? Surely, even red, it won’t look anything like whatever hideous thing convinced her she hates all red interiors–which was probably a ’76 Caprice Classic or Torino wagon in red velour crush… - Load More
