Rockyx Hope this helps.  Found it on line.
Surface prep is very important. Paint will not stick to oily or greasy surfaces. The oil from your hands is enough to prevent adhesion. So a clean surface is vital. Also, if the surface is too rough or has gouges in it those blemishes will show right through the paint.

Hey guys thanks for the info.  I talked to the guy at Chirco’s and also got a e-mail back from Airhead and they were both helpful and I think can get what I need.
This site is great for info. etc. and help form everyone for new auto owners like myself.  Some day I might just up to speed.  
Thanks Again, I’ll post pictures as I do the work, have…[Read more]

They also call it a trailing arm.

The Diagonal Arm is the arm which supports the shock absorber in the rear and is apart of the rear suspension on a driveaxle model.

HI John is that the right no. came seem to get it to go through?

Do you have a phone no. for the guy in Miami?

Mark sounds like you well into your rebuild.
When I purcahsed my TD I had know idea about mechanics at all.  Worked my whole life at a desk for a bank.  Always want to try and work on cars but until I retired did not have the time. 
Since I got my TD in July I have rebuilt my carb. which works great suprisingly,first time.  Then purchased an ext…[Read more]

Paul, Sorry to hear about your loss.   You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. 

Allen you might call a Ron @ Sunshine Garage in Sarasota Florida.  He moved my pedal cluster and all he works on are VW’s.  He could tell you I am sure.  His no. is 1-941-365-6684.  Tell him I suggested you call him, his been a great guy to deal with.
Happy New Year, and hope to see you again in 2012.

Fantastic Paul, Thanks.
Happy New Year

Thanks Paul

 
Hey guy’s I have mounted the emblems on my smoothies but I didn’t like the red color so I removed it and polished the emblems to match the smoothies.
Smoothie and wheel I think looks ok, person taking the picture is questionable though.Mark K40905.5509722222

HI Everyone 
The January car is my a Fiberfab MIGI II originally built in 1981, purchased in July of this year. Its built on a 1970 VW Chassis with a 1970 VW engine. 
Since I have owned it I have gone through the car just about from one end to other.  First added lights, mirrors, windwings, top, upholstery carpet etc.  Additionally I have a…[Read more]

Your ipad can do almost anything your computer can do, plus some.
Go the any office supply store and just get a wireless rotor and hook it up to your computer and you will be shocked at what the ipad can do.  Wish I had one but can’t afford it currently.  Several friends have them and they are great.  A rotor wil only cost around $25.00 to $50.00.

The door panels are secure using a Nylon Door Trim Panel Retainer instead of a screw. 
They are installed in the door panel behind the fabric.  We used the previous screw holes in the door and we simply pushed the retainer ends into them to secure the panel to the door.  

Hi Guys
Bill
 I have the side curtains but decide not install them.  Remined me of my golf cart curtains.  Plus I live in sunny Florida and only concerned if I got caught sometime in the rain.  Not cold enough here to worry about heat. 
The top I re-worked, by cutting to bow’s in half and installing a spacer between them which I got from a marin…[Read more]

 
 Thanks guy’s for the in put.
Alan the trim is easy.  You can get it a almost any auto supply store.  Its 1/4 inch wide and just sticks on.  You can take it off without harming you paint  etc. If you go to Autozone or Advanced auto just ask for chrome wheel well trim.  Comes in various sizes but I found 1/4 inch wide looks the best.  The back fe…[Read more]
