Very sweet ride. OK, I just gotta know....Did the lovely lady in the first photo age as well as the car? Anyway, it looks like a very nice bug. Congratulations!

Thanks.

Unfortunately, I didn't get to meet the lovely lady, just her husband and son. They were so sad to see it go though.

It's funny, once you tell people you got an old bug, all of a sudden everybody has a bug story. I was telling one of my wife's colleagues and he said to me "you are in luck, I'm a Volkswagen mechanic" He will eventually be sorry he told me that :-)

Hi and Welcome :-)

Car looks nice !

I would sort the fuel filter out though - search ramva archives to find out why !

Nice Ride! I believe in EU it is called "Baby Blue" When looking at your engine bay, (Rich made me look) I see that you have an adition on your carb I was refering to a couple of weeks ago. (little disc left to carb) (Now) I know it is designed to keep the car from a sudden deceleration when you take your foot of the trottle. Made me wonder what I was missing then. Is it a 31 PICT-4 carb?

Yes, that is my first job. I also detected a small leak between the fuel pump and the filter, so the line will have to be replaced anyway. I just found out my wife's friend is a former VW bug mechanic and am going to have him come over and look over any problem areas.

Thanks!

I will have to get back to you on the carb. I believe everything on it is stock.

Thanks! and Thanks!

He is an aircooled mechanic that's for sure. He worked as a mechanic to get himself through school, but that was 30 years ago, now he's a scientist.

In that case, ask for the Extra Lasers special.

Nah, he works with rats.

Attack Rats then!
