    Roxy the '71 Panel - So That's What's Wrong With the Engine

    The beetle saved my bacon when my bus died up at the unit! I am forever grateful! Though you do need to get back on the bus! FIngers crossed for MOT time.

    Snapped bolt drain plug

    As above, it'll leak if they're not all done up. You can either remove the stud carefully or drill and tap for an M8 repair stud - they step down to M6 so you can still use the normal sump plate etc.

    Carb rebuild?

    Give it a clean out and blow the jets through. There's a guide for setting the choke here: http://www.vw-resource.com/choke2.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; When I bought my turn key engine, the guy I got it from advised me that the choke wasn't working - I start it by...

    My 69 "Ex Volks Tuning" Panel , build /make over thread.

    I used to work with a painter - he ended up refusing classic jobs because they were pretty much impossible to price - he found himself either upsetting people or losing money. The amount of hidden horrors was ridiculous. That being said, I think up north we seem to pay alot less for paintwork...

    1969 - GGL 468G

    That doesn't look too bad - not sure what the material is - maybe old filler? Get the grinder on it and clean it up and see how much needs replacing - looks like you could just let in a pretty simple patch/ have someone do it for you? I did the same with my first bus - just remember every bodge...

    WTD - Indicator Stalk for 71 US import

    I've given it a quick fix for now - the wiring was OK but the actual switch seems to be coming apart. It's a single chrome lever version. I've found a couple in the US so will find a few other bits I need and probably get one shipped over if I cant find one locally.

    Registration fee question s

    I had my mam write me a cheque as I don't have a chequebook! It's worth while writing a little cover letter noting everything you've included. Do as much as you can to make their job easy and it'll pay off! I sent an SAE and asked for the title and all the docs I had sent to them to be returned...

    Average cost of a respray?

    Lee I might have to come see you after summer is done with my bus for a bit of treatment like you gave your last one! I've got some rough patches that I need sorting, but made to look a bit rough again! I don't trust anyone locally as far as I can piss and you seem to have done some quality...
