Greetings RAMVA
I recently bought a 65 type 1 in decent condition. It runs pretty good, but
apparently one of the previous owners didn't check the fuel hoses and had a little weenie roast. I plan on changing all the fuel hoses and putting clamps on them. Yesterday evening, my son and I took on the first project to change the shift rod bushing. Thanks to this group and the samba groups, its going well. I just have to pick up the bushing and retainer to finish the job. After that, we plan on changing the clutch and accelerator cables. I will have to replace the drivers side window regulator. How much of a pain is it to change? -- Eddie 65 Feuern Sie Käfer |
