Forums for VW Beetles / air cooled engines?

[GoldenPlump]

Just wondering if you guys know any good forums for VW beetles / VW air cooled engines? My neighbor just picked up an old porsche 356 kit car on a beetle chassis and he's going to pay me to do some work on it.

I went on google and tried to find a decent site but failed. Plenty of major VW sites that have a forum dedicated to the old stuff that gets a new post every other week. Looking for something a little more specific.

It's a pretty sweet ride. Surprisingly it looks almost like the real thing and only cost about 5% of what the real ones sell for. Much much better than the typical Ferrari kit cars

Pretty dope convertable for how little it cost!

This isn't really a forum, but has some info albeit because they sell stuff.

Some other stuff you've probably already come across.

Kickass!

Thanks guys!


Got it running and tuned the carb half decent tonight and took it on it's maiden voyage. The previous owner said (which I don't entirely believe) that there's a lot of work done to the engine and it "should be able to lift the front wheels up" () but it does have quite a bit of power.....too bad the clutch is slipping like a motherfucker.

Car feels light as hell....wonder what a beetle pan + fiberglass roadster body weighs in at?
