I just sent you an email.  I am a nuclear worker also!

Not sure about the Migi 2 wiring.  I went through my wiring when I first got mine and went back & forth between that diagram and the VW factory manual wiring diagram and there were very few (only minor) differences in what I saw (and updated) in my car.  I’m not sure if the previous owner made everything identical to the ’69 VW wiring l…[Read more]

I just finished up replacing the front-end on my 51 MiGi (69 VW underneath).  I replaced the steering box as well.  If you have made sure that your steering linkage is OK, then you can try adjusting the steering box.  Muir’s book has a procedure, and the VW factory manual will have a procedure as well.  The adjustment is the scre…[Read more]

Years ago I lost a car (67 Olds Cutlass, brand new) to a fire.  I was driving along and kept hearing a car horn behind but wasn’t paying much attention.  Suddenly, the engine quit and everything on the dash lit up.  I pulled ov…[Read more]

Thanks.  The tin is chrome that the PO put on the engine so I’m in the process of determining if all the correct stuff is there.  I know the thermostat is gone but I don’t know about the flaps, etc.  The temp is coming from the oil sending unit.  Also, the reason I asked about the compartment is that on a bug or a buggy the air can esc…[Read more]

We got our Fiberfab MiGi yesterday afternoon and must have driven it for four hours.  I hated to go home. I have never been so enthralled by a vehicle bef…[Read more]
