Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

            off the top of my head, i think you'll need:
            manual box, gearlinkages, manual steering rack (has mount for gear linkages), manual starter motor, clutch flywheel etc.

            PM Spyda, he has actually done and auto to manual conversion
