I know what you mean, OBD2 is 'supposed to be "Universal" but so many makers have their own idea of what is "Universal". I have only one car that has the OBD 2 socket and that's on the 2001 Mercedes W168 and even then I can't do half of what I should be able to do unless I pay 1200€ for the...

Bonding old fiber glass panels with resin doesn't work as it will not soak into the old stuff, not even after a soak in acetone. Use a bonding agent such as Sikaflex, The fiber glass will break before the glue. Check your mounting panel in the doors roof for rust, if it is at all rusty...

Also if your auto vac advace isn't working t he timing will be out when warm.

Just read through your thread and it looks like you are trying to evaluate ALL the problems at once, DON?T do it. Clear you mind of all the problems until you have a clear view of what is really needed, First job, get that body OFF, there is so much to do to the chassis that until that is a...

Many years ago I addressed the question of hood hinges by suggesting one looked at the older BMW E30 hoods, the release is at the front but pops up and foward in runners at the rear, then swings up from the rear so with a little geometatry on the arm lengths it could be made to pop up and move...

Headlights need boosting, very dim. Love the rear end but I would like to see some accents rather than totally black, a bit of stainless or chrome even if just tail pipes. and a rd cover on the rear light strip. What's the 'office' like?

Anything in the last 7 years?

I always just buy a 12' of 1.5mm cable and cut to fit. The 'S' shaped front bir that 'hooks' into the pedal is easy to make from 2mm tube from hobby shop.

Back from the hospital check-up and now a 'mucus infection' so lots of douching and antibiotics etc for a week. All my 5 a day tablets etc plus douche bottle and medicines' for it and some cranberry tablets for the wife, $30. Cost of hospital treatment, $0, cost of consultations, $0. eat your...

One thing on my "win lottery" wish list is to visit you and some of the other guys. So be careful what you wish for. LOL

I think the problem with the sinus fungus stared at a stable where there is a huge amount of horse crap about. 32 horses and ponies crest over 20 buckets of crap a day- and I was very close to a lot of it doing repair work. Much better now but still 'thick in the head' and bloody snot but...

Been under the knife Wednesay and all good, got rid of the fungugal infection in the right sinus, yeasterday was NOT FUN, had to go and have the dressing removed from the sinus and cleaned up, having an endoscope, suction tube and forcepts up there at the same time hurt like hell, on a scale of...

Understood. and as we say, "Each unto their own", hope whatever you choioe will work well. I am not sure what chassis you are using so can't really comment further than regarding standard VW floor/chassis. Changing anything on that HERE would require an independent vehicle test costing about...

I have Wilwood 4 pot radials on mine, very, very good, 3/4" master needed.

I can understand that. Just remember the weight issue. You don't want it too stiff or it will bounce all over the road.

Don't forget ALL these ideas are for cars weighing a ton or more, the 500Lbs of a Nova/Cimbria/Eagle front end is very light, even with a radiator in there. https://www.red9design.co.uk/type1.htm The Red9 unit is designed for the light front end and OK it may cost a bit with shipping but they...

have you looked at Red9 units.

You have to remeber that this is a 1971 designed car by Richard oakes and built by people on a on a tight budget, Estimated finished on-road cost 3,000 pounds., no fancy stuff, just basic VW and the body.
