I just bought a kit car based on a VW pan with an upright 1600 [?]
engine.  The seller didn't know anything about the engine, stock[?],
crank[?], etc. although it does have dual Webers.
So I'm going to start all over and have an engine built for the car.

I'm gonna toss these up on Samba probably this week but I thought I'll see
if anyone here needed them before I did. I'm in New Hampshire so probably
you'd want to be from New England, otherwise shipping could be a killer. I
have just removed these from my '68 Bug:

I will be spraying epoxy primer on my 71 body this weekend, but have no clue
how much paint I need. Since this stuff is expensive, I don't want to mix
more than required to do the job. Anyone have a ballpark figure on how much
paint to mix for just the exterior body shell, minus ...

How can I test the dimmer relay on my '75 Std Beetle to make sure it
is working, or not?
As it is, my headlights are stuck on low beam.  The relay and
associated switches were working just last week.  There was a problem

I made an additional phone call and my problem was resolved 100%.  They sent
me a replacement windshield without having to examine the first one that
arrived scratched up. I can't ask for better treatment, and I'll stay a
loyal customer for as long as I need VW Bug and Vanagon ...

I'm just trying to get my '70 KG ready for my safety inspection so
I can register and license it here (was bought out-of-state).  I've figured
out most of the electrical gremlins but one still persists.  My right
(pass.) side running lights don't work.  I've tried changing out the ...

I'm installing a brake line in my 72 standard, the one that goes from
the master cylinder to the rear.  The original had been replaced with
two pieces held together with a compression fitting.  I cut the thing
when I replaced the floorpan by accident.  Would anyone have a picture

I've got a recently-purchased '75 campermobile that seems just fine
until it gets warmed up -- and then it loses power under acceleration.
I didn't notice the problem when I first bought it but after driving
it about 100 miles I first noticed the problem starting going around

Hi All, I was just wondering if any NG regulars have ever experienced
customer service problems with the company California Pacific also known as
JBugs in Oceanside, CA?  I'm having a problem with then because I purchased
a windshield for my 69 type 1 through the Internet, and it ...

My license plate light has not worked in the 4 years I've owned my
car.  State inspection is coming up and it's time I got around to
fixing it before my luck runs out.  I cleaned up the wires in the
engine bay but it still doesn't work.  I need to check the connections

I'm building up a 1776 engine. This is my first experience bulding up
a non-stock motor. The cam that I've selected has a lift at the cam
of .380 and a lift with 1.1 rocker arms of .417. The heads were stock
before being bored out for the 90.5 cylinders, and I've checked my

What are the options for stronger transmissions? I have a 1975 beetle
with transaxle gearbox. I have a 300hp motor and after only 20 or so
miles, the gearbox had enough. Hewland gearboxes are ridiculously
expensive, so don't bother mentioning those. Rancho gearboxes seem a
