Paul’
I choose to go the look of a hotrod w/ mine and used the 205/70R15 w/ 7 inch wide after market spin off wire wheels. They were Cornells from Pep Boys. I must say that the car runs great w/ this set up and no rubbing. They do go past the fenders some though ( I like the look ). I do have a four tire set up w/ the stock VW size if I ever sell…[Read more]

Thanks Phil
If you find them let me know – otherwise I guess I will try to make my own patterns.
Anybody else done this yet?

Paul,
Sounds good – Are you going to their planned dinners on Friday and Sat nights? Driving w/ the group in your car?
I am still working through issues on mine, but hope to have it together in time. I am waiting for my dual carbs to come back from CA and get them installed and adjusted. Worse case – I will tow the car w/ my tow bar and then just…[Read more]

Hi Guys,
I will be there as well – went the last couple of years w/o my car- not done yet, but will be driving it this year as it will be complete!
I am coming up Friday and staying Friday night and Sat night and will be leaving Sunday morning. I am also a member of the on-line speedster group and will be staying at the Ramada w/ that group as I…[Read more]

Thanks Keith
I am not looking at this time for adjustment information- I need install info- how to put the carb on including pic’s.
 

Anybody out there?
My last two issues and have not been able to solve yet
How about the gas pedal issue- anybody have a Fiberfab and can look at the setup and help me through it?
VW guys on the Master cyl?
Thanks, Dale

Bill,
I bought some wire wheels off a Ebay seller site and now have them fitted to the car. I think they look nice, but it does make the car look a little more like a hotrod. This is because the off set is not quite right ( the wheels and tires are 7″ wide vs. the std 5″ ). I was told the bolt pattern would work on my 130mm x 4 car, but that was…[Read more]

Bob,
If you look at the Download Manual section of this site you can see what Michael is talking about. That should get you started.

I will be there w/ or w/o my TD. I am working on the interior now and have yet to run the rebuilt engine and any road testing, so I still have a ways to go. Hope to meet up w/ you guys.  Dale

Paul,
I plan on being there if I can finish my ride.
Is the NJ club the same as the speedster club? I am a member of that site as well- I hope to build one of those next.
Dale

Pink,
I have a new- non-cut front end.
I will check side to side ride hight again and make sure I was correct in my measurements.
I will then check my grub screws and make sure they are in the ” sweet spot ” ( my gut feeling is the side I did all the work from the screws are missing the sweet spot and has rotated ).
Thanks for the help- I will…[Read more]

Paul,
Thanks for the reply- your right- I removed just the small bars and left the large bars. The problem is that the side I removed the bars from is sitting much lower than the side that I just loosened the grub screws , but left intact. I am thinking of loosining the grub screws on the side I removed the bars from and rotating the spindle…[Read more]

Bill,
I might want to see if your friend could make a few things for me- I will get in contact w/ you in a few weeks as I complete my car.
One question- My car has a solid fiberglass tire shaped pc that mounts on the engine cover- no vents, just solid. Am I missing something? Should this be vented somehow?   Thanks, Dale

Thanks again Pink
I will check the prices and see which is the best way to go.
I am starting to lean toward not buying a top at all, but just getting the cover behind the seats ( what is this called? ) and throwing in a W/P car cover in the boot in case of a bad rain and wait it out. I don’t plan on driving it in the rain anyway at this point ( I…[Read more]

Pink,
Thanks for the info- I love your car in the photo gallery and hope mine looks as good when I am done. Mine will have wire wheels- so a little more hot rod style, but a TD for sure. I have just finished fixing all the gelcoat cracks and dings and am ready to prime. I think I can prime it myself, but don’t think I am ready to take on the…[Read more]

Paul,
I second your opinion- I would like the picture and site w/o the slogan.
I also like a grey shirt w/ black drawings and we will need XXL sizes for slightly larger guys.
Dale

Frank,
I will buy the T-shirt and maybe the polo as well. They look good, Dale

Bill,
Received my badge and clips today and it looks great!
As soon as I finish the car ( very soon I hope ) it will be mounted on the front badge bar- Thanks again for all the work. Dale
The rest of you guys and gals need to get yours now!

Bill,
I will take one as well- I enjoyed meeting you at the Carlisle car show- but I don’t use Paypal. Can I mail you a M/O? Please let me know. Thanks, Dale
