One of them is a BEAR unit, from 1981/82. The other one is an AMMOCO from

Got my leaky fuel pump replaced today. I ended up going with a hundred
dollar German one from OEVEEDUB. We'll see if it is any better, but I am not
taking any more chances with the Brazilian pumps!

Had the panel off the passenger side front door the other day, trying to
figure out why it's so hard to open the door from inside. It appears

Recent. Last month, I think. They did a conversion on a 67 decklid to make
it look like a 67 convertible decklid. I remember reading the article, and I
*think* I bought it, but I can't find it. Can anyone tell me where to find

Hey Scott, did you ever finish cutting up that '72 Super?

Help!  My '72 Type 1 (Super Beetle) has too much (negative?) camber on the
rear wheels...the inner 1-1/2" of tire tread wears out much more quickly
