My bus is blue with a white top. It also has a Ventura sticker in the back window and no bumpers. Can't wait to see you all out there on the road. Happy...
Well Thump has resumed his ill-mannered ways-bucking, occasionally quitting at idle, but always starts right up, and runs fine under load, but at neutral...
has it ever run well with the 009 and Pertonix? Stock exhaust w/cat? Scurve _____ From: tv2@yahoogroups.com [mailto:tv2@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of steve ...
Is it carb or FI? If its a 34pict3 I have never gotten them to run well with a 009. Converting to a vacume advance dist will help. Louis PS: Right now my...
I think the term "AFM" gives it away... Scurve _____ From: tv2@yahoogroups.com [mailto:tv2@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Louis Brooks Sent: Tuesday, May 03,...
Uh, whats an afm? Must be an FI part. Never mind, I dont know any thing about FI. Louis ... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? ...
dunno either, I am in the same boat as Louis on this one, little knowledge in the 'AFM' world. My guess still points to the whole vacuum thing. If vacuum...
... Still driving both 65s regularly. The vert has completely charmed me, returned me to my youth, erased wrinkles, restored vision, who needs viag--anyhow,...
Well, I pulled the engine out of my bug today. The project is coming along. Interior is in, fuel tank etc... All thats left is freshening up the engine, finish...
I got a super nice stay fast canvas top for the ghia. I was hoping to only replace the existing top and not the headliner but the headliner ripped (very dry...
All here is rolling along.. I finally found someone to do the body work on the 77 Westy (Thanks for the hook up Scurvey).. That's been eating at me for a while...
oh yes-much better than it did with the factory stuff- these were installed to try to cure this same crappy behavior. In other words, it did all this...
90% of all fuel injection/carb problems are electrical. I'd run thru your fi components with an ohmmeter.. that's how I found my 81 Vanagon problems... Stephen...
He is gonna start by pulling the dent out as much as he can. Even if he was gonna cut out metal from the get go he would have to pull it some first to get rid...
Cool. I've worked with Steve on a Mercedes and a BMW repair before. You WILL be happy with it...just takes him a little time to do a job. If you want to help...
Joe, I have looked at your site. VERY informative. I actually have been gluing and patching wood on the bow and it would probably work fine. The thing is...
Hi Seth - Yeah, it does sound like toast. I'd just start shopping for a new one online - wolfsburg west, chuck's, house of ghia, karmann ghia parts & ...
yep.... and AutoZone just sold their last 69 ghia vert wooden bow monday. I actually bought the canvas top from a guy still in the box for about half what...
Seth, In my limited experience dealing with verts, wood is the way to go. Mainly because wood can be *shaped* if the need arises. The contour of the winshield...
I've heard that plastic doesn't always grip the staples as well. Put some Thompson's Water Sealer or whatever on the wood and it'll probably outlast you...
Probably won't help much, but there's a couple of ghia top frames listed on the samba for sale. Most of them are around $350. Maybe too much dinero. You could...
Thank you guys for the info. All I really need is just the wooden bow (the mechanism is good shape) and I think that I can get a new one for about 250 bucks....
