project

Hey everyone! New to the forums here as I am new to the beetle world. The goal here is to establish a foundation so I can get some sort of idea of where to start with potentially saving this beetle. My grandparents bought this '73 Superbeetle off the lot brand new. They drove it from...

Hey there, I'm new to VW, but am 52 and a Mechanic/Shop owner for ever. I'd like to post some pics on here of the teardown etc... because I've received a really nice car, in trade for a 280k Accord, so he could get a job. He couldn't afford a timing job on his low mile 03 Passat Sedan W8. I'm...

I am looking for a fun summer car. I have always wanted a classic Beetle that is super modern and really more of a pro touring beetle. Now Let me be clear on what I mean by Pro Touring. Typically a pro touring car does not use any of the factory suspension. On most american muscle car Pro...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mU_xON1RKuE Each project build requires you to put a lot of effort and time into it and in some cases turns into a money pit over time, because, you know, mods never come to an end, lol. If you’re looking to upgrade the suspension on your 2015-2018 VW GTI, yet...

Hi everyone I’m new to this site and live in Canada, my GTI that I recently purchased as my project to rebuild has a few issues mainly the intake cam lobe damage by the HPFP and an oil leak coming from the valve cover gasket. I’m trying to source parts for this work to be done and was wondering...

I have the opportunity to purchase a 1982 Rabbit L with an auto for a father-son project. My buddy tells me that the automatic transmission is going to be a problem. The car is in very good condition with only minimal rust on the wheel wells and some on a door corner, the rust I am not worried...

We’ve all been there; Our steering wheel shakes, clunks, and rattles while we’re driving down street in our MkI Rabbits so we crawl underneath the dash and see the lower steering column bearing sticking out. I scoured the internet for a solid how-to replacement article or video and couldn’t...
