I recently acquired a dune buggy and was wondering how I can tell if
the transmission, starter, and generator is a 6v or 12v?  If anyone
can tell me where to look (pictures would be very helpful) it would be
much appreciated!

Okay, does anyone on this group have a 57-63 VW bug with a sliding
vinyl or canvas sunroof? If so, could you get the rough exterior width
and length measurements of the canvas/vinyl top?  I was told these
were made by Golde and may be the same as the german sunroof

Bought a scrapper beetle as a donor for my resto project last week.  Bargain
at ?50.
But a few aspects of it have me scratching my head in confusion.
Firstly its Tomato Red...was this a GT-only colour, or would it have been on

How hard is it to replace without taking the engine out??? about how

I have read everything I can find and still don't understand what my
problem is.
I have a 72 beetle with the I believe to be original motor, code AH.
I have put on a new 34 pict3 carb and a new dual advance distributor.

We found the adjusters frozen, both rear wheels had one adjuster in, one

Ok.. I recently purchased a scat boring tool to try to accomplish my
task of making a 1914cc engine for my bug. I realize that all of my
other plans, or backyard DIY boring scemes without tools, was just not
going to work. I have practiced on some very old cases, using a drill

I have a Karmann Ghia from 1970. My problem is that I can't get the
door to align with the body. It points down so that I have an opening

Ok, I've been rebuilding the brakes on my daughter's 72 Super. I can't get
the %@#% 36mm nuts off the rear spindles (so I can pull the rear drums)!
I'm soaking them in penetrating oil now, but I have tried a 5' breaker bar
and they will NOT budge. They do not look rusty, so am I ...

While i'm waiting for the parts to arrive for my engine, i am trying
to service other areas of the bus i'm putting back on the road. Pulled
the CV's, cleaned and repacked them today, new boots, etc.
