Is it me or is the roof line plain hideous? Did hebmullers come as hardtop at all? and was the back meant to be as long as the front? I would say shorter rear end and a flatter roof...if a hardtop at all, cover it in canvas to look like a soft top!!

Do you mean this one??

[rebel]

yea..small rear window...canvas top... I would think these are rather obvious when creating a replica...

can some one explain waht is Freeway Flyer transmission?

[rebel]

It's basically a transmission built to fly along the freeway. It has a first gear. A second a slightly higher ratio third and a long ratio 4th. It essentially adds a few miles per hour while keeping the revs low.

[rebel]

Nasir uncle and Romano have one in each of their cars. They can explain in detail about the ratios if you are interested.

[bravo122]

i just want to know what it is
because kahlid sahab was telling of doing some thing similar to the stock gears?
he was saying he will increase the 4rth gear ratio and do some other stuff which will is done by "goras"
the mod which kahlid sahab does is it the same?

[rebel]

In essence...yes...the goras however give you a brand new tranny. Khalid sahab makes do with what's available...grey matter is getting the upgrade. I'll share the results with you.

I do not know why everyone refers to this car as a Hebmuller replica? A *replica* means a copy, close or very close to the original. I think the proper way to describe this vehicle would be a Hebmuller inspired coupe. We must sound politically correct after all? 

Personally, I like this particular car very much. A lot of effort must have gone into its creation which must be appreciated. If I had it my way, I would have gone for the proper convertible version since the hard part of shaping the rear end :P has already been done quite close to the original thing.

'Wizard roadsters' were created years ago using donor VWs and sported a shorter rear end :P compared to a Heb. Perhaps you have the two versions confused? 

Wizards were built by companies and as kits by hobbyists and enthusiasts and some occasionally turn up for sale in the UK and USA. Hebs are no comparison being ultra expensive vehicles, with less than 100 surviving known examples all over the world.

@Romano, ref to our phone conversation

It was nice to meet you today.

That's some nice original paint in the under tank area. If I were you, Id finish the car in the same shade.

Pl share details on how you are proceeding with the engine work. Im sure you can get much guidance if you post the details. Or rather throw up a separate thread to document the resto.

i am looking for a pair of late beetle seats if any one has a spare set call me
0336 5105210

What year seats do you need?? Beetle seat from 71-72 beetle seats have unique runners and cannot be a direct fit to 70 and earlier Beetles. Post 73 Beetle seats are different altogether.

Pl share a close up picture of the runners on your project's floor pan.

[AsadIshaque]

Show me the Gt Corolla seats and thier condition... i might be willing to exchange them with seats off my 1303... depending on the condition...

Hassan,

 Please do NOT swap out the genuine bug seats from the Super. Its sacrilege! And, other seats are very often a very poor fit with having to sacrifice rear leg room and what not. Complications complications.

 Good thing is, your Super seats can only fit 73 and later VWs so may be useless for bravo :D

[AsadIshaque]

^^

The double channel ones are 71-72 type for Beetles. Maybe for the Thing they carried those over to 1973.

Id keep my eyes peeled for what you need. I had seen the earlier kind with someone so had asked you.

Beautiful! You did it!!! The next meet would be with double the number. One tiny bit of suggestion..when parking the cars in similar circumstances you should try (space permitting) to keep a one full open door space between the two cars. I see that Naseem mughal Sb. brought his orange beetle too. Congratulations Karachi dubbers...
