Manx Club

Like 5150bossman said, books are a great resource for learning about classic VW's. HOWEVER, I learn better (and faster) by watching someone doing the work. Mainly because I'm not a mechanic. Sometimes when I read procedures in a book I'm still wondering exactly what I need to do. For anyone that wan...

Hey rogerf, nice fiberglass color!! How do you like having the dual carb setup?

Just sold one of my dune buggies yesterday (looked like a Manx but wasn't), so now I finally have room in the garage for my signature Manx build.

Thank you lastmanx. I'll see if I can get all of the images working sometime today. I used a different computer to look at the post and sure enough, some images need fixing.

Brand new steering box.


Paint has been this way since I bought it in 1999.

5513 5514 When I still had my 5 gallon gas can, I would put that and the ice chest in the back with no problems. The seat belt always kept everything in place. 5516 Paint is chipped, not perfect. But the buggy still looks good. When I drive it around the city, I get thumbs up and cool comments all ...

New fuel pressure regulator


New inline electric fuel pump
