Hello Bus Gang!
My good friend is selling her mother’s bus that’s been sitting for a minute. Full disclosure, I have not seen the bus or know of the full condition. I told her that I would post it up and see if anyone from here is interested. She is asking $15K but I’m sure she would take an offer ...

My wife was driving the beetle and I was following her coming back from an event last weekend when I noticed the brake lights we not working. She pulled over and I investigated the problem.
Well, the brake lights work great....but only when a LOT of pressure is put on the brake pedal. From some ...

After Bruce installed the new CB Performance disc brake kit for the front, I decided that I wanted to find out what the car would look like with all black wheels. This is something I've struggled with because the wheels still had the original paint and I liked the way it looked. With new smoothie ...

We decided a couple of months ago to take the beetle to Indiana for a family reunion. I was excited for my mom to finally get to see it and go for a ride. But we haven't taken the car that far from home and since I haven't been through the internals of the engine, I was unsure of it's ability to do ...

Update: I bought some aluminum AEW wheels that I've wanted for a while. I just like the look. Unfortunately, the front wheels will not clear the bottom ball joints. As of right now, they are not usable. I would have to narrow the beam, install disc brakes and use a wheel spacer to make them work ...

Pics after the matte clear coat.
Also the re-painted steering wheel and turn signal assembly. I will probably have to take the assembly apart again to fix some problems.

I've come to the conclusion that whatever project that I am in to, I will plan on re-doing it at least twice. After installing the "re-conditioned" (that means I took it apart when I didn't need to) turn signal assembly and steering wheel, I'm not getting the left turn signal to light or lock in ...

Hey Now! Bruce gave me a call and invited me to his VW kingdom to check out my problem. Talk about service. Thanks Mike for the offer as well. You guys are super awesome.
It didn't look good because there wasn't enough of the pot metal post to do anything with. So the decision was made to grind the ...

Working on the steering column today with a steering wheel resto and wanted to fix or replace the headlight dimmer switch. After watching a few videos, I thought I had it down pretty good. Well I did but it seems that mine is a little different. I got it apart and was mocking up the reassemble to ...

Actually, we're not exactly sure what to use yet except the heads. The two German cases are in excellent shape and the one is checking out to be a rare find.
He may sell a lot of the parts on the Samba in favor of gathering better ones new but the parts are in super good shape.
Mild daily driver is ...
