Manx Club

well crap, I gotta get on a boat tonight:( . maybe the weather won't hold and we'll come back. if not, maybe next time.

I'm hopin to be there, as long as I don't get stuck offshore:( It will be my first gathering in a few years:D

I purchased a 1968 bug and it's IRS. must be a very late one. the vin verifies it.

Hello, I am sorry to here of your misfortune ($) but after reading all the responces to your posts, you must be wonderful people. As my fiance says" your life experiances make you who you are". Hopefully we will meet you someday. Enjoy your adventures! jason

Well,,,,,,? just curious.

Hi, It sounds like it could be expansion due to overheat. I'm assuming (and we all know what that means! ha!) that you have adaquet oil pressure? It's hard to see from your pictures, but, it appears you have a thermostat on your motor, if so, is it working proper? I would like to know what lee asked...

the origional vw vin# is gone. there is a 1"x3" metal tag welded on with the numbers stamped in. I think the easiest way to go about this is get another car and use it's pan, i've done it before, not too hard. this is my 5th buggy. the last two were ground up builds, but I made them too ni...

well, I believe it is, but there has been a couple of modifications. 1- the spare tire well was modified. 2- the lisc "hump" was cut out. I sent the pictures to bruce and winnie and got a reply that due to mods and without seeing it in person, the answer was no. It has the same windshield ...

well, calif dosen't work that way. I have to have EXACTLY the equipment that a 1974 vw had (according to the referee). It can be clean as a whistle out the tail pipe, but if it dosen't have just one of the items, it fails. how stupid is that! the bottom line is clean air, but if the airs dirtier wit...

well, got it going, so now begins the dmv saga. the car was registered as a 1971 spcn. last tagged in 1985. i've started with the dmv as a 2007 spcn, they told me no smog. the laughs on me, the referee says yep! and because it's a dual port I have to smog to 1974 beetle (the engine has no vw #'s, it...

thanks for all your help/info. I will be trying some of the suggestions this weekend. I'll post my findings/problems! ha! jason

Thanks fubar, guess i'll head to the book store. hoping someone had all ready gomne thru this. manxdavid, there isn't a new body out there as thick as this one. I have gone the new body route before, and yes, it is easier. I believe this is an early manx, although bruce and winnie said without seein...

[font=Verdana]Hi, [font=Verdana] I'm building a buggy and have got to the part of sanding the body and have run into a problem. It appears the previous owner has covered the entire top of the body with a layer of cloth and resin. When I try to sand, it just galls in the paper. A buddy at work says i...

If the newsletteri was ready in june and some people didn't get it for two months, I think I'd just rather have it in the pdf format and print it myself. I just rejoined the club after being gone for a while, so tell me when should I expect to see the next one? It's quarterly, right? Last one was in...

thought this was pretty cool. found it on CB Performance web page. some of you probably have seen it, but maybe it will help somebody. http://www.et-studios.com/motorsports/gears/gears.html jason
