hello...I ve been buying hot vee dub magazines and vw trends since I can remember.....I ve been looking for a car for quite a while now...I have a super beetle that I ve had for years. I recently have started parting it out and have finally had someone come and purchase the remaining bits....was hard to see it go althoughI was able to purchase this car...just trying to get it off of photo book now. While I was looking for a car this sight was EXTREMELY helpful...thank you emilio (egspot) for all of your great advice...and everyone else...I ll try and post pics of my bug

my plans so far are to change out the tires and rims...I have a 1600 that I am going to put into it...not sure if I am going to gow I beam or spindles....still debateing...I am in DESPERATE need of a steering wheel...the guy lost the stock wheel...and put on one of those weird spongey 12 inch steering wheels....any other suggestions from anybody would be greatly appreciated....am hopeing to go to the gcvw in august..and OH...I REALLY LOVE THIS CAR!!!!!......hehe
-
Welcome and congrats.
-
nice ride & welcome to the asf.
as far as a steering wheel and other needed parts go, start by putting some wanted adds in the classifieds on this site....you'll more than likely get a great response. or try shane or chris at http://www.acvw.net (http://www.acvw.net) for parts. or make sure you check out the swap meet at the great canadian vw show.

Hey man , from one newbie to another , welcome aboard . What are you going to do with the wheels that are on your car now ? How much do you want for them ? I might be intereted .

put me down for also wanting the rims and tires
-
hmmmn....didn t really think about selling them..the story is that the guy I bought the car from only used his car for car shows and parades in parksville and surrounding area...he said to only use the white walls for show as they were an expensive purchase. SO....I was just going to put them away, but if I can get an interesting trade for them I would probably do it.(I don t plan on this car being a trailer queen) nor do I plan on attending any parades...car show mebee. This car is my daily driver so the white walls are not really in my plans for the car.
-
What kinda trade are you looking for?

wooooa thats a big picture...everyone that I have talked to so far has said not to sell them...nobody has given me a price and I have been unsuccesful so far on trying to find them on the internet...I m hopeing you guys can help me out a bit...here is what is written on the tires.
4 ply polyester cord tubeless Commander. load range B. max load 970lbs. at 32 psi max inf.
tread is 95% my wish list includes something like these..http://www.cip1.ca/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=ACC%2DC10%2D6638 for rims
and these for a carb setup for my 1600 http://www.cip1.ca/ProductDetails.asp?Prod...Code=C18%2D3285 (http://www.cip1.ca/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=C18%2D3285) I guess pending how much these are worth...I can pay the xtra cash or whatever...I would rather sell or trade them to someone who can use them...thanks all

Brm's just took ur ride to the next level , love it!
Imho get rid of those deck lid stand off's and use the extended latch one!
-
Ty jaga, I had taken them off a while ago!! And I m still meh on the BRMs....going to try some chrome Fuchs next.
-
Frank, I love the BRM's - If the car was one colour I think the BRM's dark contrast would pop more!
Either way, liking the Berg parts too!
-
... but what happened to the ww tires?

i'm with you, kinda on the fence about the brms.
you mentioned fuchs, i was thinking empi 5 spokes, but i like the idea of chromed something…the car just kind of screams early resto-cal to me and some chromed out goodies would look good! ;)
regardless of my opinion and anything i say, you got a bitchin ride and good for you for switching it up every once & awhile and trying different things. it looks like you're having fun with it and it's your car to do with as you please. good job!! :cool:
-
ty for the kind words everyone! I m having some great fun changing it up every so often!

yesterday! hopefully I ll be able to get it to gcvws this year
