Greetings All!!!

As soon as I can figure out how to create my avatar, I'll do that. I am a member of Samba in the US, my name there on that Forum is "Jody '71."
I took the name "Rita," from my Bus's name, after Rita Hayworth, not the meter maid. Surely you all know what a Hollywood starlet she was. My Westy is patina red, like her hair color. My fellow Westy enthusiast has a '76 yellow Riviera he named "Betty," after Betty Grable. Together, our busses are the two most famous Hollywood pin-ups of the WWII. :wink:
I have been a vintage VW owner since the mid '70's. I have owned and driven to wit: '65 Beetle, '71 Squareback, now own and operate my '66 Beetle and '71 Westy. I am here to help. I am not much of a block mechanic, I leave that to my engine man, see NSRacing on Samba. I can and am able to offer suggestions on anything beyond a long block, inclusive of all electrical, fuel delivery, basic troubleshooting, trans probs, shifting woes, body problems, etc. Internal engine guts like bearings, end play, rods, etc and rebuilding heads I leave to NSR. Engine tin, axel shafts and stuff like that I can help with, brakes, Booster, vac lines and the rest is all within my relm.
Nice to see that there have been a few replies to me joining. I look forward to being a part of you all across the pond :D

Hey Y'all, still trying to figure out how to post my avatar, I am not the best at this computer stuff, so be patient, my Bus pal is on his way over today to drop off his Bus for some work, he's the computer freak not me. We took his 2.0 ltr. out and we put a Toyota engine in it a few months back, he's having some cooling probs, go figure.........You should see my avatar later today........

Avatar posted, although a bit small, 80x80 max is kinda dinky. This was a still taken from one of Rita Hayworth's films she made with Fred Astaire circa 1942. Her most famous film was "Gilda," 1946. Her most famous picture was in Life Magazine in 1941.
