Just drive through the triangle about lunch time with your stereo cranked up, speed through the square running a red light or two, do a donut and head back out of town.  Kenny will find you.   :lol:

Yep I found em. You need a jungle penetrator to get em out.Didn't herb fly a Huey? :lol:
I don't see resurecting any of them but there might be a few parts here and there if you can get to it. I saw a set of popout windows and a few odds and ends but that would be about it. almost all were baha's so there goes everything.

Zen I take it you are working at an auto part's store?Or a vw parts store?

As much money as I've spent at Auto Zone and Advance Auto over the years I should own a few shares of stock but I don't.  Don't work at a parts store.  Never have.  I live at a mini-junk yard . . . do used parts count?

The Stupor broke down on me Thursday. I was thinking that I could not remember when or how much gas I bought or used and decided that just in case, I would put 10 bucks in the tank.  Soon,  I was motoring again and on my way.  When I drove past the cemetary on 27,  the wheel pulled gently to the  right and the motor died.  I got the Ouijue Board out of the trunk and tried to contact the spirits to ask what they wanted now. I figured I had gave enough knuckle blood offerings from the vise grips slipping of 35 year old VW bolts that they would leave me alone for a while.  I guess not.  Using my vast storehouse of VW repair knowledge... I got nothing, but i did see that the fuel filter had no gas in it.
Put 3 gallons in 3 minutes ago, ran out of gas....It was 5pm.. rush hour in Lafayette, as you would expect, no cars on the road.  Quiet..Too Quiet.

I thought maybe there was a leaf or something in the tank that had clogged up the filter.  So I'm standing next to the beetle shaking it back in forth like a piggy bank with a nickel in it,    No nickel came out,.

So then,  I shook Stupor like a bad puppy that pooped on my carpet.  This time, i hear  squeaky wimpering suspension noises and a little gas squirted into the fuel filter. With this we lurch another 50 feet.   Now i'm in front of the Ford dealer.   Something ironic being broke down  out in front of a car dealer that makes you want to abandon you bug , walk right in, and pay sticker for a working car.   So.. as you can see, I'm no longer driving Stupie,  I got a 91 Ford Fiesta and the  payments are only $400 a month for 7 years.

No,  actually,  I learned that when you put your first tank of  gas in a bug that has had its previous gas evaporate to a sticky fossel substance, your fuel filter might be working overtime doing its filtering thing.  Using the  Field Repair manuel for kruppenwagens from WW2,  I pulled the gas line off the filter and using  my double lung air compressor,   blew out about a tablespoon of crappee for the filter.  Plugged it back together , Vroommm and made the last 2 miles to Casa de' Stupor.  
PS , I did have a pretty looking samariten stop and offer assistance.  Bugs, they do attract de ladies.  Not a bad day at all. SC

Smelly cat. That was a good story.The way you worded it made me laugh my A-- off because I can imagine the situation.Good one! :lol:

I'm pretty sure that the only thing a Stuper Beetle damper fits is a Stuper Beetle . . . if the damper fits, you must aquit . . . no, that's not the saying I was looking for . . . if the damper fits, wear it.  Close enough.  I doubt that VW is still making that damper, so chances are the one you bought is aftermarket.  Since VW designed them to go a brand new car and the aftermarket manufacturer is producing them for 30+ year old cars, the aftermarket is probably a heavy duty unit.

Check your wheels for "radial runout" . . . in other words, make sure the rim is round and straight.  A Stuper can't tolerate much runout.  All you have to do is jack up the front and spin the tire by hand.  If you can detect any wobble with your eye, it's got way too much and you'll need to replace the wheel with a perfectly straight one (if it's not too bad, maybe you can swap it with one of back wheels . . . the back isn't as critical).  Make sure your tires are perfecty ballanced . . . you need to find a shop with the equipment to spin ballance them on the car so it balances your brake drum as well.  After that, you are out of "easy" fixes . . . it's time to start tearing the front end apart and replacing worn out parts . . . and trust me, there are some worn out parts on it.  Stupers left the factory with worn out parts on the front end.    :lol:

Of course, we don't want you to fix this thing too good . . . If you could drive it 55 with no issues, you would be on the road 24/7 and we would never hear from you!  

Which brings the subject up that oj got off scott free and everyone knows it and nothing can be done.I think on that day my mouth it the floor when the judge said not guilty.Boy I wish I had ya'll around to look at mine.Mine has a toe end problem that no one is able to fix.They adjusted it as far as it can be done is what they say. This is an alignment shop that has been doing it for 50 years.What I need to do is have it all ripped out and startover.One day I will when Bug Techs money tree grows a little more. lol When I get the $ I want to buy a new set of brake drums all around and have them powder coated.What is the cost of that compared to having disc brakes put on.Mine seems to stop very well now but maybe I just need to have them sandblasted.coated and put back on.Any ideas for later?
