    It's amazing how a car sitting since 40 years ago, it's in practically awesome shape. That's the thing I love from cars in the US. Sometimes they are just forgotten somewhere, but some people care enough to leave them indoors or something to keep them from rotting out. Some other cars aren't that lucky, but I've seen so many stories like this. I wish the same thing happened here in Mexico.... Well, it does happen but it's extremely rare

    I lived in Germany in 1970 and owned a '55. Took it to a small neighbor VW shop and they tuned it, battery and 2 tires for 40 marks- at that time that was about $10.00. Enjoyed seeing DUB and the back story-

Gotta ask, i’ve heard a lot of different things, and have been trying out a bunch of different stuff, but got any advice what oil to run in bay window engines in hot weather? Being texas bus’s is there any brand and viscosity of oil you guys normally run? I’m in Phoenix, Az so it gets scorching hot here

      so it's easy to say "just paint" but it's really involved and expensive. also, we aren't enjoying our VWs any less without a shiny paint job. aren't afraid to use them and abuse them. those shiny ones, hate to say it, sometimes never go on the adventures because of it.
