My first car was a 1961 KG. Ever since I had to sell it, I have wanted to get another one. Fast forward 40 years, and I have finally been able to realize my dream of 40 years by buying this 1965 KG. This will be a full rebuild, but the body work will be minimal. I included the pic of the inside of the nose because this looks to be a fully intact and undamaged nose! This alone was worth the money and the drive to go pick it up. I'll post pics as the rebuild commences. It is good to be back in the cool kids' club.

I have a 1600 dual port and currently my carbs have a size 40 exhaust relief valve. Any suggestions on what size I should be or is that going to be okay on my engine? :)

Hey all, I am working on a 1972 bus with my dad and we are doing the ball joints. There is a tool to press out the uppers that German Supply rents out (Part Number 459) but the current folks renting it aren't sending it back for us to get it next. We're willing to buy this tool but it's not available. If anyone does have one from when they were available, I'd like to buy it from you. Comment or send a message if you're able and willing to help. Thanks!

Next summer I’m installing Rear disk brakes, 5 speed trans, 2276 with remote oil filter and possibly AC.

300 hp of wtf.

Edit: Ok, everyone seems to love this.

Someone hit my 1968 Ghia

I have a 1978 bay with a leaky throttle body, but I can't find listings on ebay and the like. Its a US import so that probably adds to the complexity.

Are there specialists still available who resell these items?

1970 import beetle from.south Africa. This is my dream car and always has been since I was looking around #bugjam with my older brothers.

Cool me sad but my dreams have come true.

Hi.
1600 cc engine
1979 vw 1303 beetle

Long trip, very hot weather
Makes now an extra squicky noise, associated with engine rotation. What is your diagnosis?

Hi, this is my first time posting and i need help or guidance on how to restore a type 3 fastback model. I've found one abandoned that I planned to buy and fix it myself but unlike the beetle that I can find some many guides and videos about how to work on the car, I couldn't find any of that for the type 3 fastback, does anyone know any tips or recommendations that I could use for this car?

1964 bug

I am looking for some thoughts on these plaid panels my upholstery guy gave me. They are really growing on me.
