Your so "vane" :p <P>sorry I couldn't resist.<P>Andy P. 93 GS

sounds like your hosed.<BR> $1100 is on the high side. take it some where else. Now that you know what it needs you can just call around and try to get a quote over the phone.<P> I have the same problem with my mini van.<BR>needs a compressor, dryer, condensor, and an expansion valve. I have found a...

1) Yes<P>2) Yes / depends on info<P>1) I'm 6'2", just don't expect to fit in the back seat.<P>2) For a better answer we need more info. <P><BR>Andy P. 93 GS

sorry, I ass-u-me-d you were using an existing sandrail chasis. being that its going to be a ground up project anything is possible. It could snow here tomorrow.<BR> good luck<BR>Andy P. 93 GS

130bhp is enough for a sandrail. <P> Which tranny do you think you'll use?<P> When you hook up the motor you will more than likely be freeing up another 10 bhp with freer flowing exhaust and cool air intake. <P> That sounds way easier than its actually going to be. theres alot to consider. the whole...

Ryencool: the answer depends on what kind of coverage you have on the car. whats your deductable? do you have comp and collision or just liability?<P> Williamtauch: I can't help you with the best place except to say check them out and ask the questions I mentioned earlier. If you don't like what you...

like Dave said, remove the weather stripping.<BR> I removed the one near the wipers that seals the hood near the firewall. You will notice alot of heat coming out of there once you do this. I have not measured under hood temps, before and after, but would think this does help. Its not a problem with...

Mine has always sat a little below half way, a guess that makes it about 40%, except tor the time when the water pump went south. After a new pump and timing belt it returned to 40%.<BR> Andy P. 93 GS

everything sounds good so far, but keep in the back of your mind that the timing/water pump replacement is expensive and probably due within a year after purchase. The same goes for the distributor, they have a way of going bad after 80k.<BR> It would be a good idea for your friend to check the comp...

just ignore it, it goes away after a couple of minutes anyways :p <P> Mine have been doing the same thing since driving it off the lot in "93". I even questioned two different dealers on this when the car was still under warranty and they both said the same thing, live with it.<BR> Keeping...

I only used the macco once and two years later the paint still looks good. Here is a link to the car they painted. just keep in mind that I prepped it.http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/classifieds.mv?photo+200208190835091586<P>the cost at maaco was approx $300.<P>when it comes to these paint sh...

#3 would be your valve cover gasket not a head gasket. And yes the front is easy to fix, its the back one that sucks. I had mine fixed once already under my extended warranty<BR> but there starting to puddle again. Oh well I'll use this as an excuse to put the phenolic spacers on when I have the int...

Once you have filled it back up, keep a close eye on the temp guage and check the fluid level frequently. You might have a slow leak somewhere so whenever you drive some place start looking for antifreeze on the ground, indicating a possible water pump leak. if its a head gasket you won't get to far...

If a loose shifter is your biggest concern than go for it. sounds like the shifter bushings have gone south. fairly easy and cheap fix.<BR> Not sure on the ABS brake light.<P> It probably wouldn't hurt to have struts after 70k but I'm not one to talk because mine are original at 117k.<P> There are b...

Sounds like an air leak. check for hairline cracks in the intake tubing.<BR> could also be a lose electrical connection<BR>exagerated by turning.<BR> How are the motor mounts?<BR> Does it do this turning left or right?<BR> or one way and not the other?<BR>Andy P. 93 GS
