Re: 1970 VW Type 3 Variant
All our exhausts go rusty, if it hasnt got holes in it. Best bet is to have it media blasted and then apply liberal coats of rustoelum stove paint. Its what ive used and it will last 2 to 3 years.

Re: Weber carbs on 1970 Fastback ??
Yeah, just me using slang. I always use 20/50. It been over 10 years and its never caused any issues. All the standard exhausts exit on the left hand side when you are looking from the back of the car. There is even a notch in the body wory for the tail pipe. If yours is on the right, I would guess ...

Re: Weber carbs on 1970 Fastback ??
Youre right, thats the crankcase releif valve, the breath pipe should be connected to it, and as long as that connected to one of the airfilters, it should be hooving out the case. If its not working, it could be that a piston ring is leaking and pressurising the case. I assume you have the standard...

Re: Stanford Hall display, Sunday 30th April.
While it hasn't been confirmed yet. I looks like I'll be working, so if you can sell my space. Go for it. I don't want to be a last minute no show.
If I can make it last minute we can work something out.

Re: Type 3 Auto Transmission Starter Motor
AH ok, I was looking at the parts manual, they looks physically different to me. But I never worked on an auto, so I dont know for sure.

Re: Where to begin
Make sure the fuel hose you got has some ethanol resistance. Install a fuel filter in the line which runs along side the gearbox and change is annually. If you can get the oil cooler ultra sonically cleaned, it will be worth every penny. Change as many engine seals as you can, I would do a block spl...

Re: Where to begin
Peter is right, and one thing I would add, is flush the brake system and then bleed with dot 5. Its something I have been doing on a lot of classics in my care. It is very expensive but it will prevent all the issues we get with winter lay up and rusty sticky brakes. And here is the ethanol proof fu...

Re: Where to begin
It sounds like youve already begun. If the interior is ok, the best thing you can do is take it out and store it somewhere warm and dry while you do the work. Then theres no risk of paint/grease/weling fire. Do things in the order you see fit, some things are obviously like you have to take the engi...
