Offroad VW based vehicles have problems/insights all their own. Not to mention the knowledge gained in VW durability.

very good description now only if I knew what a chevette looked like :lol:
Hot, humid air is less dense than cooler, drier air. This can allow a golf ball to fly through the air with greater ease, as there won't be as much resistance on the ball.

Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt.

it was my first car. the only issues i had with it was th starter and the carb. i had to rebuildit every weekend. the sarter was a pain to change due to the fact it had a/c had to pull the sterring collum out to get it out from under the car. but i think it would have made a cool off road car though.

now, im gonna be taking the body off pretty soon, is there a diagram that shows where all the bolts are? i know i can go out and find them, but i want to make sure there isnt any tricky ones.
