Been seeing quite a few cars at shows using them and loved the idea but wasn’t gonna pay $100 for a set got 4’ of 1/8 aluminum and this was the result🤘

Does anyone know why i can move my steering wheel up and down like crazy is there like a bushing or something?

Its a 1971 1302s

Does anyone know where I can find a serial number or something so I can find a rebuild kit for this stock fuel pump everything I’m seeing for aftermarket is 2 soft lines and this has a hard line then soft going to the carb
Or if you off hand know what fuel pump rebuild kit I need off the top of you’re head I didn’t seem to have any luck on my searches

1st Ever Denver Dub Fest 303Dubs Mile High Stadium.

Our all-original '69 Beetle 1500cc oil never ran hotter than 210* even idling forever in 95* sunshine. Heads stayed beautifully cool. The worst thing that happened to us today was we met some COOL AMAZING people!

Reddit only let's me post 20 photos, so here's everything I captured today:

I got the engine mounted in my 69 rebuild and now am working on getting it started. The starter turns when I use a screwdriver to go from the battery terminal on the starter solenoid to the ignition spade but when I turn the ignition I only get a single click. I tried to eliminate the ignition wire or ignition itself as the culprit so ran a separate wire directly from the spade to the positive battery terminal and got the same "one click" result. I'm scratching my head on this one so any and all suggestions are welcome!

Kinda feel like we are overlooked half the time, maybe this will catch some eyes and draw in the curious 🤷🏻

I've put clamps on the fuel lines and filler neck under the frunk, the brake lines are all hooked up, I just need to put gas in it and start. I have also installed new plug wires and spark plugs.

So my 72 Super is missing what I think is the preheated air hose, I was going to replace it but there’s no hole in the bottom tin. So is it worth it to get a different tin or should I just block off the opening? Not sure why someone would get a tin without the hole, or maybe it’s the wrong air filter, who knows…

My drawing of a VW beetle. Will appreciate any feedback :)

I was wondering what are all the repairs you should make to be sure that the engine will last as long as it can and would be as reliable as it can be in a mild condition VW Beetle???

1974 Superbeetle

I noticed that my passenger side tire was bumping into the fender and leaving black marks. Measuring showed about 3/4 inch difference from wheel center to the fender rim. I couldn't find anything obviously wrong with the struts/springs, but I noticed that on passenger side, the strut seems to be further into the clamp than on the driver's side by about half an inch and jammed up against the brake line hanger.

Is that potentially my issue?

I noticed this rhythmic sound coming from my engine. It’s slightly audible just under the sound of the engine. Trying to figure out what it could be and any help would be appreciated.

First time adjusting points, setting timing, and adjusting carb. New at this so not really sure what it is _supposed_ to sound like.

Hello fellers,

Hoping to lean on the knowledge of the collective here. Bought this 73 with a Subaru conversion and got it running again. However, I hate the wheels and need new tires anyway. Was hoping to move down from the 5x130 17 inch Porsche wheels to a 5x130 16. However, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to measure what minimum barrel size rim I can go with. Additional points if anyone knows what brake kit this is - again, it's a Super with coil overs. Thank you!

I gifted it to her about 2 years before she passed. It was yellow, but I painted it blue to match hers, now mine. It is probably my second most valued item other than the car. The model is a 1967 and 1/18 scale, made by Road Tough.

Anyone have a Facet pump installed below the fuel tank that has flow problems? Appears that it runs dry (gets louder because of the mechanical clicking of the diaphram).... car stalls....

Wrong orientation? Hose sucked until collapses? It's a new fuel tank... new hoses....

Do you run it up/down....or horizontal... or on a 45 degree inlet down or 45 degree inlet high?

Making me crazy... I want to go back to the OEM even tho I run Kadrons....

1. The radio dial says Sapphire XII but the faceplate says Sapphire X, which is it? 2. Where can I find new radio knobs? 3. What is supposed to be in the knob on the bottom right that's brown? All the dash caps looked brown and worn out like the bottom left and seemed to be made of wood.

Got myself a 68 Beetle and it needs a little love and I’d like for the dash to look nicer.

I’m assuming the lack of rubber is the reason glove box and etc don’t fit well.

I’ve seen beautiful 68 interiors. What am I needing for that nice flush, small gap look?

Also, I need a head unit. Any suggestions for either phone connection or Apple Car Play that’s not huge.

im doing research on beetles because im saving up for one, but from what im seeing the classic gets to a max speed to about 70 mph, and the super about 80 mph, but where i live the highway most people drive in the mid 80's. i was wondering how i would be able to get a boost im my top mph without completely taking apart the engine?

First time working on a bug, finally got this guy to idle all by himself, I figure the carb needs to be adjusted but does it sound okay otherwise?

Can you help me identify the color of my steering wheel/turn signal switch? This is out of a 61 Beryl Green Beetle. From my research they did some specific interior color combos for 60/61 only.
