Online OEM VW Part CAtalog
Where can I find the OEM VW parts manuals? I found them one time
online, and now I can not find them. I have a 67 Westy, and want to
find original part numbers and part diagrams.
Thanks,
Paul

Building a VW engine-start-stand
Anyone have plans or advice on making a VW engine stand?
Ideally I would like to use a old tranny bell housing and starter
allowing the engine to be started on the stand.
Thanks.
