Do you have bad heater channels? Are they all rusted out? Want to replace them? Its not really as hard as you think. I replaced a heater channel on my 69 Beetle and I wrote an article on how I did it. Safety is the most important thing when doing a job like this ... so be careful. Also, the article I wrote is how I did it. It is by no means an absolute or how-to for you to complete the job. That will depend on your skills and your techniques. ...

My 66 beetle was under 4 feet of salt water during Hurricane Katrina. The engine had salt water in it for a couple weeks and it ate the magnesium case from the inside out. It also was seized up tight. So I had a new engine built: It has a new AS41 Case and every part is new with the exception of the heater boxes

This is my 1966 Beetle. It was actually badly damaged in Hurricane Katrina. It was under 4 feet of salt water. The engine is trashed (new one has been built).

The trans axle had water salt water in it also and it ended up eating a hole in it from the inside out. A new ...

My 96mm type 4 cyclinders were broken during shipping and Fedex crapped out on my insurance. Does anyone know if this is still good or not?

Hello, I am thinking about selling my oval on a classified site, but I am not sure what is a fair price to sell it at. I bought this car about 7 years ago, but I have not had time to spend on it. I am thinking about selling it rather than letting it sit in my sister's garage.  Unfortunately/Fortunately, I live in NYC and my time in Atlanta is limited. I bought the car in Arizona and had it shipped to where it is now. What would be a fair price for this? The seats are dry rotted. ...

I'll try to explain how i did to disassemble and assemble again the mirror in my 63, cause i dont have pictures of that, and it was one year ago, it might be not acurate as it whould.

I found that it has something like a rivet to hold the part with the glass to the base, and i nedeed to separate ...

I can't figure out why there isn't any suppliers of Volkswagen Type 4 conversion parts in the USA. This exaust system is designed by Remmel in Europe and widely used there. If you want to order one of these, you'll have to pay a hefty price on the system and the cough up cash to pay for shipping which is not cheap. With Jake Raby on the East Coast, I thought he would have designed something by now or had some type of relationship with Remmel. Jake, if you can hear me, please help!  Oh well, ...
