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,

  • Aircoolers?

    Any closet aircooled owners here? Interested to see how many span the air/water divide.

    I've owned about 15 or so.

    Only one in the shed at the moment is a '59 beetle, a long term resto project.

      I have a '59 big window bug in about 20 pieces. Dad has had over 30+ aircoolers and has a few still kicking in the other shed.

      If you get a bug go pre '67.

        Poking about a late type 3 notch for the little lady. Pretty interesting researching them. Only word I know that is important to date is Fuchs!

        What happens at weiß club, stays at weiß club.

        Bought the little lady a toy today.

          Nice work.

          Do you have your usual treatment lined up for it?

          Ironically I was following a white one of these yesterday. Spooky!

            It will get a limited going over, the real money is still needed to be spent on the MK1, of course!

            Lower a touch, new shocks, tyres, wheels and some bling should be just enough for this one.

                So which forums should I look at in terms of learning air cooled/type 3 stuff?

                  First car I drove was an oval window bug, I'm going to own one someday.
