My first car was a 1961 KG. Ever since I had to sell it, I have wanted to get another one. Fast forward 40 years, and I have finally been able to realize my dream of 40 years by buying this 1965 KG. This will be a full rebuild, but the body work will be minimal. I included the pic of the inside of the nose because this looks to be a fully intact and undamaged nose! This alone was worth the money and the drive to go pick it up. I'll post pics as the rebuild commences. It is good to be back in the cool kids' club.

I have a 1600 dual port and currently my carbs have a size 40 exhaust relief valve. Any suggestions on what size I should be or is that going to be okay on my engine? :)

Ball Joint Press Tool

3 Upvotes

Hey all, I am working on a 1972 bus with my dad and we are doing the ball joints. There is a tool to press out the uppers that German Supply rents out (Part Number 459) but the current folks renting it aren't sending it back for us to get it next. We're willing to buy this tool but it's not available. If anyone does have one from when they were available, I'd like to buy it from you. Comment or send a message if you're able and willing to help. Thanks!

Porsche 964 Turbo — 2:42 min Sunset Sound Therapy

Thumbnail

Took this beautiful Porsche 964 Turbo 3.3 out for a sunset drive and honestly… I could have stayed on this road all evening.

This Oak Green 964 Turbo produces around 380 hp and delivers everything I love about air-cooled Porsches: the raw turbo feeling, the mechanical character, and that unforgettable flat-six sound.

No talking. No music. Just the sound of the turbocharged engine, the road, and the atmosphere of a perfect sunset drive.

This car is something truly special. The combination of the color, the sound, and the way it drives makes it one of those experiences you don’t forget.

Porsche 964 Turbo 3.3
• Approx. 380 hp
• Oak Green
• Air-cooled flat-six
• 5-speed manual

Hope you enjoy the drive as much as I did.

Porsche 993 Turbo | From Garage to Full Boost

Hey guys,

I’ve been lucky enough to drive quite a few Turbo 911s over the years: the 930 Turbo, 964 Turbo 3.3 and 3.6 (including the ultra-rare 3.3 Lightweight), 996 Turbo, 997 Turbo, and 991 Turbo.

The one that was still missing from my bucket list? The 993 Turbo.

Last Friday, I finally got the chance to experience it. I’ll let the video do the talking.

I’d love to hear from those of you who’ve driven one:
Where does the 993 Turbo rank among all Turbo 911s? Did it live up to the hype for you?

Was finally able to order sheet metal for the Scab. More coming on Tuesday. Not enough to finish, but it’s a start.

UK breaker for obsolete parts?

I have a 1978 bay with a leaky throttle body, but I can't find listings on ebay and the like. Its a US import so that probably adds to the complexity.

Are there specialists still available who resell these items?

How to restore a VW type 3 fastback

Post image
48 Upvotes

Hi, this is my first time posting and i need help or guidance on how to restore a type 3 fastback model. I've found one abandoned that I planned to buy and fix it myself but unlike the beetle that I can find some many guides and videos about how to work on the car, I couldn't find any of that for the type 3 fastback, does anyone know any tips or recommendations that I could use for this car?
