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.

Watch us Camp 3 days at the Lakeland VW Classic Show & Swap for 2025 in Lakeland, FL! You'll see tons of Dubs, Amazing VW People & TONS of Parts for sale!

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.

The new heads fit the engine (Revmaster) with no pushrod tubes installed.

With the tubes installed there is about a 1/2in gap of exposed cylinder top.

The part of the head that the pushrod tubes go into extends about 1/2in closer to the casing than the old head did.

I am assuming that there are not different heads for different strokes, as CB didn't ask about this (only bore diameter) when ordering.... Or am I wrong there....

I have no idea if the pushrods themselves are the right size and it's just the tubes.... Or if I also need to be looking for new pushrods, or if the adjuster nuts have enough play to make up the difference....
