asad
he's looking for a good VW in KHI his email address is xalmanreyaz@yahoo.com

[AsadIshaque]

Psyborg, yea really! the guy is a disgrace. Why he insists on doing this is beyond me, unless that is the brainchild of some rival manunfacturer trying to ruin the VW brand. Any input guys?

why bother trying to help those who do not wish to be helped? we have good VW's,.. in a few years the rest will be gone and then we can raise the prices of our cars since they will be rare,.. LOL!!!

   I find the always-stranded-by-the-road-67 story rather interesting. I think this guy needs to be tracked down and interviewed! the only thing I can imagine is that he is sorry moron who understands nothing about cars or VWs for that matter and is perpetually ripped off by cunning mechanics who make botched repairs to his 67.


  Anyway, if giving him a good lecture and a crash course in VW mechs could help then maybe it should be done.


  Btw if anyone can get pics of this 67 it would be great, especially a closeup of the attached 'tales of woe'.

A recent pic of the car, minus front dent ( I think!)

Storm, Asad, I thought Bugs had steel sunroofs. Is this a US special?

As Aleem has pointed out, this car has/had the steel sunroof.


An interesting fact not known by most volksfolks is that VW offered the ragtop sunroof right uptil 1967 (or was it 66?). But this was only valid for the basicmost standard 1200 models. For the 1300/1500 Deluxe models you could only order the steel sunroof. The reason was that VW considered the steel sunroof far superior to the old ragtop as the former was designed to be theft-proof.

If people have very good memory, a maroon ragtop bug was spotted by Devilspassion a long time ago and a pic was posted here. From the only shot available, I could make it out to be a 66 model car. The ragtop mechanism was all missing but the aperture was original. Sadly that car has never been spotted again.

[AsadIshaque]

Yes...post '63 bugs came with sliding steel sunroofs like on my car. However, the 'steel' is only really a cover and the actual sunroof underneath it is a hard polycarbonate-type material (the black part). Previous owner 'misplaced' the steel cover, so I'm left with this - although it's leakproof in the rain.

 I am not aware of such a setup. Not 100% sure in this area though.

Hello all, Inspite of the fact that we are now a pretty well known community and offer FREE advice on VW maintenance and resources, I still see Bugs in various states of disrepair broken down by the roadside. What the issue guys? We have the best mechanics and electricians around? What gives? Contact us, we don't bite! In case you are wondering where this rant is coming from; we have a dark blue/silver roof 1967 Beetle in Isb that is frequently seen , abandoned by the roadside,. with a sheet of paper stuck to the windscreen listing its various mechanical and electrical failures. Why do these reliable cars have to get treated that way? Any idea?

Today I spotted the car parked on the main road in F-6 just before the entrance to shaheen chemists parking lot, seems that he manged to get her to move again since she was "parked" correctly. last time i saw her she was stranded on nazim-u-din road (F-8). i hope this is a sign that he is getting his act together.

@ Storm

  Pics please of the 67 whenever you see it next. Its quite a star!

[Storm]

was thinking abotu taking a pic but then i thought that by now somebody woudl have snapped up a pic,.. let me check my hard drive...

[AsadIshaque]

@ Storm

Waiting.

@ all

  My elder brother is coming down from Cali, USA next month. What do you suggest I can ask him to bring for me??? He cannot afford to buy more of the pricy items (has overshot the budget already) so big things have to wait for a while. Smaller, hard to find items ideas welcome.

[Storm]

i know i had a pic but it was from far away with my old cameraphone so i ust have deleted it. will take a fresh one when i see it next for sure.

i'd suggest the rubbers that go under the outer door handles, the rubber stopper that prevents the engine lid form banging into the body, the stickers for the entire car (6V, tyre pressure, valve clearance, etc), some urethane suspension bits, carb service kit, engine lid handle gaskit/seal, sunvisor clips (TMI), wiperhsaft-to-body seal etc.

First guy out there to post a pic of this sorry '67 gets a VW key strap from me!
Its a dull dark blue with silver roof, and strange TVR type headlights. oh yes, it usually has a paper taped to the inside of the front screen listing its latest mechanical issues!

[funkycapricorn]

On it... Btw any hint on the location? LOL

[romano]

I could post his phone number but that would make him feel like a partridge on first day of hunting season!

[funkycapricorn]

LOL
