Did well at my first PNW event. All this plus some bus parts that no one here cares about Roll Eyes

Are you going to be coming up for the Woodburn Bug Run on May 30th?
It should have a rather large swap meet.
Much better than the Springmeet pickings...

I'd love to but I won't be up there permanently for a couple months. I'm hoping to make it in time for the vintage show mid July.

I've been going to VW shows since 1989 and made it to Woodburn for the first time last year after living in Oregon for the past 12 years. I was able to bring my dog, my family and plenty of good Oregon beer. It is definitely a show I will not miss again.

I was looking at the local paper last nite and saw an ad for new vintage car parts and in the middle of all the parts were 4 New Old Stock Formula Vee steering wheels in the original boxes with a date of 1965 on them and a few other vw trinkets

Not as cool as some of the other scores on here, but I just got back from sifting through the junk a local friend was taking to the BOR tomorrow. Ended up spending $55 total for everything, and I got a complete A1 Sidewinder exhaust (with a homemade Bugpack muffler installed), 2 Dansk heater boxes with fins inside, 2 stock German heater boxes in great shape, and some other misc. crap that was being thrown out. The instant I noticed the A1 Badge welded to the collector, I started putting the parts together to see if it was a complete system, and it was.

 The sidewinder is only 1-1/2", but I can't complain about the $20 he wanted for it. Should work well on my 1915cc single port. He thought it was some homemade dune buggy exhaust system, and I didn't try to stop him from thinking that.  Roll Eyes I'll bead blast it and see about modifying the header and one pair of the heater boxes I got so I can run heat with that setup.  Cool

Does anybody know if/how I can adapt my new Koni's meant for lowered beams to my non-lowered beam? Or do I have to wait until I get a lowered beam?

Is it a ball joint beam?  If so it is very easy to extend the shock with some over the counter hardware.  One end has an 8mm stud and the other end has an 8mm threaded hex body (female) end.  I have some if you can't find them...

Yes it's a balljoint beam. In my pic (link above) you can see the shocks I want to use. I'll see if I can find those extenders locally, and if not I will definitely take a couple of those off your hands, THANKS!! I can't wait to match up these iconic front shocks with the matching rears which are already on my car. I bought the rears 3 years ago when I was unemployed and couldn't afford buying the fronts and steering damper from the guy. Then I came across his ph number last week, called him up and he dropped the fronts and steering damper off at my work. Couldn't have been happier! The rear Konis are meant for IRS cars but fit my SA rear seemingly perfectly. According the the catalog I found online, the SA ones are cheaper than the IRS ones I have. Anybody know the difference? http://www.csp-shop.com/cgi-bin/cshop2/front/shop_main.cgi?func=detail&artnr=12255a

Thanks Don! I'll do that. I just measured my shock top stud and the thread is M10x1.0 (fine thread) and you mentioned 8M. When you get a chance please check your extension studs, thanks!

You probably noticed the lower bushing is longer on the IRS shocks.
Check the fully extended length by jacking up the car.  Does the spring plate rest on it's ledge?  Some shocks are a bit short and the spring plate doesn't reach the ledge.  This can be bad as the shock is then the suspension limiter and it won't last long if you hit the limit.
I see in your link they have Koni yellows.  IMO those are the ones to get.

It probably says in the DE text, but it's not obvious what the difference is between the red and yellow models besides the colour. The prices match. I noticed a big improvement in handling over the whoops on the roads with the rear Koni reds over the previous KYB whites. Less rebound after the car sits down after a rise in the road. Much smoother overall. I'm interested in trying the fronts now too.

Hi!

From koni-website:

Q: What is the difference between KONI Special (red) and KONI Sport (yellow)?

A: The KONI Special (red) has been engineered to maximize the ride comfort with good handling performance for each vehicle application. The KONI Sport (yellow) typically starts at a higher initial valving baseline to give a sportier feel and work on vehicles with higher performance parts. In some instances, KONI will only offer a Special or Sport valving and not both. Some modern cars come from the factory with higher tech suspension systems and wheel/tire packages so they would move directly into the Sport range, however they are still valved to give a comfortable ride with very good handling capabilities.

Nice greetings

Marcel
