Can someone do this, or give me a hand?
Here's the story:
My cousin-in-law has a '63 beetle. The engine was rebuilt, bug was driven around until they got married. For 2 kids and 8yrs, it has sat in their garage in Oakville. He started it years ago a couple times, but it wouldn't idle. Now my cousin calls me up, and wants to make the beetle a runner for their anniversary in 3 weeks. A surprise for him. Problem is, i do not have the time to do this. Called Pat at Tune-right, and he has swore off of servicing aircooled yrs ago. He says no money in it, super cheap owners, and is always waiting for parts. I'm going over to take a look at it soon. Haven't seen it in awhile. She hasn't said it, but i have decided I can do whatever i want with it. Not much time here, so: -get it running all stock? or -toss on some dual carbs, dropped spindles, beam, wheels, tires? I don't have the time to do this solo. Can someone give me a hand for a couple bucks? Do this all in a day? Who's got what that i can use? thanks, Pete |
Pete,
My vote is to get it running stock, if it runs but does not idle. I'd like to help but don't have alot of free time myself. Perhaps a meet in Oakville on one of these weekends or weeknights might be in order ? :D Sandeep |

Pete, I submitted my reply last night but for some reason it's not here :confused::confused:
I have spindles, I have the BRMs with tires as well. 135's and 205's like Pablo's oval. Forget the beam for now, but I do have a 4" coming in within the next 2 weeks. Slam it, get it running reliably, then worry about performance upgrades. Unfortunately with the move I don't have time to help though. Sorry....:o |
