Great meet! sad how karachi members can never get a meet together. there are so many excellent bugs hiding in karachi.

i noticed that my passenger side front wheel rotates off center. what could be the cause? i run on a set of aftermarket wheels with the correct PCD. Could it be the drum?

also.. where can i find references on engine numbers? i acquired a motor with engine number 0014617. what can i know about it?

don't worry dude, let my vw be ready & we can meet anytime, anywhere.

@storm
thats the thing, there are no letters before the numbers. that is whats confusing me. tampered maybe? its a 1300cc dualport btw.

if it is an original 1300 dual port than it can either be an AB or AR. if it has one preheater then it is an AB, if it has 2 preheaters then it is an AR.

guys i've used one of your get together pic as my desktop background. hope no issues with copyrights etc?

i hope it isn't a picture of KP or romano :P:P:P

she didn't sound like she needed an engine rebuild yet,... i've been hearing about htis car for ages but finally seeing it was worth the wait. was truely awesome!

@Storm:
Thanks a lot.Yes, she didnt need an engine rebuilt yet. Its just mindblowing.. The sound of the engine is awsome. Even the silencer box is brand new and german one. I already fitted what I have for this car, just two to three things are less. I have to fit the original mudflaps. Will fit them in about 3 to 4 days. The next I have to order cooker white wall tyres from America.

@Storm:
Kindly let me know what are your requirements. I'll let you know about it after I come to know what you want.

[romano]

Cooker tyres, hmm...and what pressure would that be?

[MSKhan18]

@Shakeel .... Is it the same beetle that came from Abbottabad?

If it is ............ oh my GOD! Great Job.

@Romano:
Yes, hopefully cooker tyres.. About the pressure, I'll let you know when I come to meet you next week. lol

@MsKhan18:
No Salman bhai, this is not the beetle that came from Abbottabad. This car painjob was done in 1985 by Delta 4 in Islamabad and after that this car was garaged for 15 to 16 years. The 2nd owner didnt drive this car too much and he garaged it again in his friend's factory factory in 2002. It was garaged till 2010 23-03-2010 until I get hold of it. I was after this car from very first day I saw it in 2002. The owner was not willing to sell and a few weeks back he came and I insisted him alot, he said Ok but said he will do {ISTAKHARA} and if he gets some clue and if the car will be in my destiny, I will get it. Finally he called me after a week and now I am the 3rd proud owner of this car. My dream came true :). Secondly whatever accessories I have for this car, I installed them. The car engine is not rebiult till yet even the tapets are not opened yet. The car is not accidented from anywhere and hence the whole body is rust free. Thanks for the appreciation salman bhai.
Salman Bhai, its a long time I talked to you. Where are you nowadays and hows everything on your side? Any plans for coming to PAKISTAN.
Regards,
Shakeel

[MSKhan18]

Well Shakeel, you have a gem on your hands. Enjoy it and keep it and yourself safe!

I'm in South TX these days, right on the US/Mexico border. Beautiful place and a vw heaven as well but sadly not many good examples here. Although there are 2 that are simply awesome and I also saw a Mexican final production version up for sale. It just doesn't feel right though.
I think its been something like 4 years at least since we last spoke. I have made some plans to come back home this year but nothing is finalized yet. I've been good, doing great alhamdolilah. Missing home like anything How're things in Pindi? How'z Muqeem. Plz pay my regards and salams to all.

1958 beetle in lahore

[Aleem1]

@VWBUG...I'm very interested in this car. Where is it, who owns it and is it for sale? If yes, let me know right away. This car needs to be saved from a life of storage, brought back to life and back onto our roads ASAP.

It looks quite unmolested, and judging from the old Peshawar plates, been off the road for quite some time.

If you think there's even a small chance the owner will sell, do let me know.

[romano]

Now now Aleem, one car at a time! Remember the last time you had two cars in the house? Remember their fate? Be a good boy Do up the one you just got, and then we shall see...

[Storm]

@aleem
though i know your intentinos are pure i think you need to stop and think abotu the current VW you have.

remember, one at a time.

[Storm]

@kashif9099
do let me know what happens (about what we spoke about today on the phone),... because even i'd be interested.

[Aleem1]

@ Romano and Storm:

Agreed, 1 at a time is the way to go for sure. I am only concentrating on doing up the 61 at the moment. One project is more than enough to handle at one time.

Having said that...every so often...something like this DOES show up (though I doubt this one's for sale - just look at the pics), I can't resist the urge to take it, and just keep it safe. Do nothing to it for the moment: to be worked on only after current project complete.

In any event, I'm not actively looking for another car - only something exceptional could persuade me to deviate from my 1 at a time policy.

In defence of my earlier years, I would simply say that I was a poor law student and old VWs were relatively cheap and plentiful. How things change!!
