WOW Paul thanks for sharing. FYI, I came across my Classic Instruments Installuation Booklet the other day, as I need to replace my glass tank sending unit. The sending unit is not marker with any kind of a number so I do not know how may ohms it is. Might you know? My Dutchess was built in 1985 the only othe way is to pull the Gas Guage out of…[Read more]

Ok John, I am really going to confuse you now. I live in Tampa, Fl, and the temps here in the summer average about 93 degrees, maybe hotter. (So says the local weather channel). When I restored Herbie 1 year ago, I had my 1968 VW engine rebuilt by “Fisher Buggies”. They only work on VW’s, and specifically build Racing VW engines, and build Dune…[Read more]

Hey Stephen, THANKS AGAIN for setting up our new TDr Web Site. I am now able to up load pics to my profile avatar and my profile page from my iPad. I never had an issue with my login,  and now still have no issues what so ever!! You are a genius at this “web stuff”.  Yours and Paul’s efforts and contributions will go down in the history a…[Read more]

You may also try your local Craig’s List. I have seen several of these TDr cars for sale in the Tampa Bay Area. Prices any where from $4800 to $6800, for a quick sale. You are probably are a little low at $4800, ask your $5500, and negotiate down to a win, win price. Have you put it up for sale on Samba as well? If it driveable, I have always put…[Read more]

Your efforts are appreciated!! I have not had any problems, even though I use an iPad. Both your’s and Paul’s efforts and skills are awesome.DaveLakeland, Fl

I hear your frustration about fitting engine tins. When I restored Herbie, a year ago, I had to make several mods to the new tins I used. I even went a couple of steps further, to help to try to avoid extra ABOVE tins heat, especially here in Central Florida. I wrapped my non heater box exhaust tubes with high temp exhaust rap, and I made a hand…[Read more]

Don’t forget to change out the Transmission fluid as well. I added a “Ford Starter Old Style Relay” to help start a hot VW engine. It also helps to improve starting, due to some possible deterioration/corrosion of older starting circuit wiring. Be sure to take lots of before and after restoration pictures, as we like to have you share with us…[Read more]

Thanks a whole lot guys for your tireless efforts. I can only imagine all of the long hours, and time consuming double checks on the forum history transfer. I know sometimes “words are just a part of a conversation” but my words of honest, sincere appreciation are my recognition, of y alls work!It’s guys like you, that make our TDr web site, what…[Read more]

Thanks Paul for your help. Actually I do not know how you have had the time to make this recent post, concerning iPad pictures. You certainly have had a very busy graduation celebration weekend, for sure. I know you are very proud of your daughter, I know I was when mine graduated. On the square……..Dave

Very nice post of the car show y all attended. I tried to post a picture of Herbie at a recent Auto and Air Fest Show, but I have difficulity posting pics from my iPad. Maybe Paul M can tell me what I am doing wrong.Y all be safe and have a fun summerDaveLakeland, fl

Good rational advice Royal, it sounds like you speak from well learned experiences. I also think prayer helps as well. Davedavearoy2016-05-15 12:32:31
