    Looking at a 94 GT... suggestions?

    Hey, I'm wondering if I could get some advice from you folks. I owned a classic a while ago, but I don't know much about anything after 73 for these cars. Anyway, I'm looking at a 94 GT 5spd manual. Hardtop, dark green with gold-ish accents (not ricey or anything) Everything that I can SEE...

    Way OT, but still car stuff.. help?

    Okay, so I have a chance to be GIVEN an 87 El Camino. It's the 305/auto. In good shape, body-wise. Needs some work, water pump, hoses and such. It was my grandfathers, he passed away about 6 months ago and the uncle who has been keeping it is moving and just needs to be rid of it. I'm...

    sorry, another "what's it worth" thread... (help?)

    Totally non-stang VW question

    Does anybody know of anywhere I can get info on some of the issues and various models of Jettas in the late 80s? I'm looking at getting one as a DD while I fix up my stang. It's like an 87 or so Jetta Carat, and I don't even know what the "carat" part means, but it's being sold locally for...

    Should I use the inflation (psi) listed on the tires, or the one on the door tag of the car? I'm using the one on the tires now, and they always look a bit underinflated... but maybe I'm nuts...?

    Backup Light Wiring Help...

    Maybe selling my 69... how much?

    I'm considering selling my 69 in the interests of getting another classic with better body and possibly an 8, and so I'm trying to figure out the budgeting. I'm curious how much you guys (and ladies) think I could get for my 69. I don't have pics, but I'll spell it out as best I can. 1969...

    Need help quick: Clutch stuff

    Okay, so I tore my tranny out today to try and fix this weird somewhat-slipping thing. I had an earlier thread on it, it had been hypothesized that my pressure plate bolts were loosening up. Tore everything out, tightened up the plate (it was a bit loose, but not bad), put everything back...

    Machine shop times, prices? (quick)

    How much time am I talking to get my flywheel resurfaced? I can't imagine it's very involved. could I just tear my tranny out, get the flywheel, drive it to a shop in my mom's car, get it machined, and put it all back together in like 8 hours? Price, too?

    69/82 (or so) I6 swap?

    k, I might have the opportunity to have my friend's like 82 fox, with the 200cube I6 in it. The block in my 69 is almost fried. I know they're the same block, but how close are the two if I was to try to do a swap... Power wise, whatever. I thought maybe I could just strip the engine out...

    Clutch Troubleshooting

    I've been having problems with my clutch lately. It doesn't seem to want to engage. After it DOES engage, it's mostly fine (though it will occasionally slip a bit), and I can get on it without any problem. I let the pedal out, and it like waits to engage, and sometimes shakes like mad. (it's...
