GT or not?
Tue, 5 Jun 2007 14:42:55 +0100
Bought a scrapper beetle as a donor for my resto project last week. Bargain
at ?50.
But a few aspects of it have me scratching my head in confusion.
Firstly its Tomato Red...was this a GT-only colour, or would it have been on
other beetles in the same year too? If its a GT only colour, that ticks the

Engine Oil?
Mon, 04 Jun 2007 23:19:42 GMT
Just wondering if anybody has any recommendations on what grade / type of
engine oil I should be using in my '72 1600cc camper? I am not sure what the
previous owner used.
Could I drain the system and replace with whatever is recommended?
Thanks again

Adjustable axle notches
Fri, 08 Jun 2007 15:06:15 GMT
Hi,
Do the centre adjusters need to be on matching notches top and bottom axle
tube (i.e. in the same position)?
When I moved mine, I adjusted them (in unison) from where they had
individually settled.
Just wanted to check I have it right before moving on to something else.
Cheers

Stumbling at 65 mph
Wed, 6 Jun 2007 12:46:29 +0100
Hello,
My 1972 camper has been off the road last year and I have now got it going
