Rosslyn: Aircooled Flatwindow

[oprahhwinfreyy]

Does this mean you aren't selling it?

It was up in the air for a bit but the other one that seemed awesome wasn't really all it cracked up to be. Owner lied and the thing wouldnt even turn over.
So no. Its staying.

put the new fuel filter on today. Gonna go a couple counties over to get a set of set of wheels. just the standard 5 lug hub cap wheel. Im thinking of either two toning them white and something, or just painting them all white, with the chrome hub cap center. ideas?

These guys sell a kit but it stops at 64. Supposedly they developing a kit for the later standard beetles and there are a few others out there that are in progress. You might be able to purchase they 64 and earlier kit and adapt it to work on yours depending on personal fab skills

Maybe is has something to do with you distributor? There could be a build up of residue on the metal connectors inside the cap.

Nope no spark at all. Not even from coil. So It hasnt even got to the distributor next. I'll explain it in my build thread soon

UPDATE:

Could possibly be selling the beetle.
I found an older model in the color I wanted to painted this one with everything working and better pans and everything basically. For about half the price I paid for this one. So thats that

Did this ever eventuate? Enjoying this thread, love your photography style.
