Criss if jo and you don’t work anything out I could be interested. my first question is same as he ask got pics.
Hi Karen I’m new here also but can’t resist throwing my two cents in. First welcome and I believe the information available here is worth taking advantage of . As to you fuel smell I’m assuming that your using a VW donor undercarriage fuel tank also that on mine it had to be the original with the VW. It was so brittle that when I went to look at it and moved it it crumbled in my hand so don’t over look this as being the source of the fuel smell.
Thanks for some Ideas other than the one that I was tunnel vision focused on. More ideas will always be welcome. Some people horde books or magazines I horde things with wheels or that at least had wheels. And your probably right too much power to waste it with a TD kit besides the fact that 90% of the nose would have to go away too accommodate the motor, then again it be fun to pull up to a stop and stand a TD up on a set of drag bars as you come of the line just one time.
Very cool I also have one of these Migi by Daytona with a six didget number on a strip set in the gel. Also has the same copyright 1975 by Laverne J Martincic. I haven’t been able to tell for sure if the others have a pipeing material installed between the different body parts, my does and has a painted white pin line at the fenderline of the rear fenders. The same pipeing is also installed around the sidemount spare tires. There is also a black u shaped edging running the length of the car covering the edge of the drives side of the body, it looks that this was on the otherside at one time. I like these details and have no intention of deleting it but would like to know if its original.
I helped do one of these several years ago with a buddy on his bug. My biggest memory of it was it was not fun at all and before we was done we was wondering what we had got ourselves into and why we had done so. Job well done I know guys that turn a wrench regularly and they would shy away from what you just acomplished. I don’t know that I have ever used J-B but it looks to me that it worked, what a way to think outside of the box.
Notes on his car it is very light cream with brown fenders, seats four, to me it looks longer in the front, and has three flex tubes on each side from the motor compartment down thru the front fenders. Yes I am aware that I have poor spelling skills but I also couldn’t help repeating his abuse of the queens english.
Yes it’s titled as a 70 VW, and at least at one time it sitting on a floor pan. FYI; the VW people tha I have had contact with around here commonly refer to the complete rolling undercarrage is refered to as the floor pan, the floor boards then being the parts on either side of the tunnel. The only vin# I have to work with is the one stamped on the tunnel. The one on the tunnel that was under the car when I got it is a 9didget 66 VW. This number is titled to VW the other side of stillwater to a car that has been rebuilt using the body.
LOL The forum over the side tires was what finally got me off my backside and to go ahead and get signed in here. I’ve been keeping up with reading different forums for close to 4 months.
Making sure all my duks are in a row before I get two excited but at this point I have a type three that I just picked up out of a pasture (really) that was parked in 76 (last year it was taged) that the old couple that gave it to me to haul it off promised that the milage was as shown just over 5k. Broke down and never had it fixed because they didn’t like it. Motor is free, and bet I can make it run, I hope, its a fuelinjected suitcase and theres a complete disk brakes if nothing else useful comes from it.
I will check it out problem I have is my title vin matches nothing story is it matched old pan that rusted out vin on current pan is already registered to a vw in different city and it does match windshield strip vin of that vw and is same as my pan vin. In other words they have at least part of the body off of my pan.
