Can someone do this, or give me a hand?
Here's the story:
My cousin-in-law has a '63 beetle. The engine was rebuilt, bug was driven around until they got married. For 2 kids and 8yrs, it has sat in their garage in Oakville. He started it years ago a couple times, but it wouldn't idle. Now my cousin calls me up, and wants to make the beetle a runner for their anniversary in 3 weeks. A surprise for him. Problem is, i do not have the time to do this. Called Pat at Tune-right, and he has swore off of servicing aircooled yrs ago. He says no money in it, super cheap owners, and is always waiting for parts. I'm going over to take a look at it soon. Haven't seen it in awhile. She hasn't said it, but i have decided I can do whatever i want with it. Not much time here, so: -get it running all stock? or -toss on some dual carbs, dropped spindles, beam, wheels, tires? I don't have the time to do this solo. Can someone give me a hand for a couple bucks? Do this all in a day? Who's got what that i can use? thanks, Pete

Pete,
My vote is to get it running stock, if it runs but does not idle. I'd like to help but don't have alot of free time myself. Perhaps a meet in Oakville on one of these weekends or weeknights might be in order ? ![]() Sandeep |

Pete, I submitted my reply last night but for some reason it's not here
![]() ![]() I have spindles, I have the BRMs with tires as well. 135's and 205's like Pablo's oval. Forget the beam for now, but I do have a 4" coming in within the next 2 weeks. Slam it, get it running reliably, then worry about performance upgrades. Unfortunately with the move I don't have time to help though. Sorry.... ![]() |
