Adolf the 68 Auto-Stick!

killakornkobb 路

well.. its about time i put my little beetle up in the members rides section. so here we go!!

this is my very first Vee-Dub who i love dearly, and has been named "Adolf" by my girlfriend..:jesus

i bought him about 14 months ago, and he was the very first beetle i went to have a look at (actually the only one) what i found was a pretty rust free, original beetle.

i dont really have any before/after pics, because he really hasnt changed much, only very subtle things so far.. but the interior looks a MILLION times better than when i got him, due to new carpet, and re-covering/padding the seats and what-not.

the plans for the near future, are, a wood-slat roof rack, lowering both front and back by about 1.5"-2" THICK whitewalls (2")

rear venitian
a D plate, and fender Stone guards, plus pretty-much any other cool looking oldskool/chrome acessories i can afford 馃檪

and a bit later on down the track some BRM's

Let the Photo's begin!

I think I've seen you driving around? Not often you see a beetle in Savanah Beige like DR L my Type 3....

Should look hot a little lowered:thumb

Good looking car Mate. I had one exactly like it few years ago. It was a '69. Unfortunately, a stupid Harley rider hit me from the side while I was turning in a side street. Quarter panel was gone but there was also damage to the roof because of his high handle bars. Which made it too expensive to repair. The car was written off. It went great. I bought it for only $450 because it had problems with gears. Turned up to be only the vacuum box next to the gearbox. $140 later it was on the road. Served me very well for three years.

you probably have jen馃檪 i'll have to keep an eye out for you and Bel!!!:P

hey busser.. i ebnded up doing the front seats myself.. i warmed them up a bit w/ a hair dryer.. (no clothes dryer at my place, and too cold for the sun) and stretched them on.. few tears down the bottom 馃槧 but i'll live.. when i twarms up i'll stretch them properly, and attach them properly.. atm the backrests are kinda just sitting there.. i havnt cut the holes for the side levers either:| just using the bottom lever for the time being.

killakornkobb 路

well the beetle is looking a lot different these days.. 2 1/4" whitewalls.. wood-slat roof rack, ventian blind in the back! and will be lowered in time for DotVW!! i'll get some pics up ASAP! batteries are dead in the digi-cam 馃檨

Very good man, very nice stance indeed..

It all changes when ya dump em..

killakornkobb 路

yeah, love it low馃檪 i had lowered it before DoVW.. but been too lazy to upload piccies :S

working too hard..

gave it a total cut and polish today at trade school, came up pretty good.. the paint on it is so bad 馃檨 we buzzed one of the guards down with 1500 on the machine, and cut over it.. so its the only smooth part of the car.. the rest is full of crap馃檨

but it's all shiney, and looks good from a distance 馃檪

next improvement will be some new running boards, then BRM's and red bands instead of white walls, then a decklid rack.. and i have a D plate on the way from the U.S

thanks chris, for posting that for me馃檪 i was tripping outta my skull last night.. too many bottles of "V" at trade school!

the white i used was sophia white, it was left over paint from a lancer i painted the other day.. really cleans up the side of the car, and makes it look longer.. there are a few runs i have to cut out today :| but im very happy with the overall job馃檪

i was gonna drop ur flares off last week chris.. but as steve probably told ya, my missus rang up while i was at his place, i had forgotten we were meant to go out for lunch.. so i had to take off ina hurry :S

i'll hafta come see you somtime too rob.. i need a horn haha!

anyways, off to school now.. cut out my runs, and give adolf a good cut/polish all over馃檪

PrettyBlueBug 路

Wow Damien, that looks REEEALLY nice! :thumb馃榾

How's he driving lately?

oval TOFU 路

Hey KKK, if you don't need an OG horn, I've got two eletric horns from a TX3 you can have...

killakornkobb 路

sounds good chrissy!

thanks laura! he's driving pretty well.. in need of a service.. and i STILL havnt got the weber on!! 馃檨

still waiting to get it all set up.. but im taking him down to phillip island thisweekend for a good old weekend of boozing.. he wont do much except for the transport there/back 馃榾

hows your pretty little thing going these days? blinged up huh? 馃檪

PrettyBlueBug 路

Hey! 馃榾 Get that weber on your Bug, I wanna know how he goes! I think I'm going to get electric ignition thingy for mine, seems like it would be worthwhile after the things I've read on other posts. And I'd like to get an alternator too. 馃檪

My pretty thing is going alright, she needs to have the idle adjusted a titchy bit though.... she's wanting to snooze when still at lights. Otherwise, she's definitly got a case of blingingitus!! 馃憤

hipichic 路

That two-tone look is awesome! Can't wait till the dotvw to see it!!

killakornkobb 路

thanks for the kind words fellas馃檪

adolf made it to phillip island and back.. but i wish i had taken the roof rack off for the trip.. was whistling the whole way.. WAY too windy..

reached my new record topspeed just over 140k's on the speedo.. then there was a truck in my way and i had to slow down for the dowwnward slope of a hill.. so i coulda done better lol!!

EVEN better with out the rack

oval TOFU 路

You left the roof rack on for the drive up the Island? Wow, that would've taken the wind out of your salis! good bye fuel efficiency! Though yes, I know it looks good.. but at what price....

that is the question

E 路

A 1968 Ascot Green Auto Stickshift? That was my first car as well. GO THE GREENIES!

killakornkobb 路

its safari beige馃檪 L620

killakornkobb 路

the alt and progressive weber have been sent away along with adolf to a makes place to be mated together.. and it's been nothing but trouble!

the alt stand wont go on, as my genny stand has an EXTRA pipe headed into the sump, think it's a semi-auto thing - think i'll just sell it.

had to have the manifold for the weber tapped to run the vaccume for the autostick to work, engineering joint took care of that,

and the weber was all corroded, it had been left for quite some time with fuel in it..
looked tip top from the outside, but FULL of rust inside..

my mate cleaned it out, and kinda got it running.. rough as, and it blows a foot long flame when u back off the accellerator. his garage has a scorchmark on the wall now (zoom tube)

it's now being rebuilt and getting some smaller jets! so im Dubless for a little while longer.. driving my nannas daihatus applause around :repuke

hi killa i have got a 68 man beetle,you prob seen it the air bagged one i think two tone would look good but its up to you btw like the white walls gonna put some on my bug

killakornkobb 路

thanks man, yeah i two toned it at school, so i could see how i liked it.. cos when i finish my apprenticship, im gonna bare metal it, and although i love it two toned, because i'v done it i can move onto somthing a bit more modern.. who knows i may decide to keep the current scheme

here are some recentish photos for ya'll 馃榾

Man that looks good. Don't go screwing with it. Buy another one and build it up instead. 馃憤

PrettyBlueBug 路

Bugger about the alternator and weber!! 馃檨

Sounds like your Bug and mine are one of a kind..... mine has problem after problem..... since those hot days here, I can't get her into reverse and driving home from Eden's place tonight, she ran like absolute crap in L gear and seems to have the HUGEST flat spot! :cry

kroozzn63 路

just love it man she a sweet ride love that colour year combo /oldskool all the way . where that stick shift emblem from

killakornkobb 路

thanks guys!

stickshift emblem came out in the first 6 months of 68 - the first year autosticks were made.. very rare.. i have only seen one other.. brought over from the states.. mine was chrome, but i painted it grey silver with a gold pearl

UPDATE! got the carby going today at work pumping prepsol, so i should have it driving by tomorrow!

yipeee

killakornkobb 路

to be more clear.. the carb didnt get sent off to be rebuilt/jetted.. mate at work and i found the primary throat was the one clogged. which prevented idleing, would only run when revved high, as secondary throat opened up. we cleaned it all up, and tested with prepsol, both jets squirted properly.

the car is now running, but only on 3 cylinders at low revs. lead and plugs rooted.. will get new ones tomorrow, and hopfully pick up the car tomorrow aswell.

i have beentold it run, and really gets going.. but it does need smaller jets

getting exciting now馃檪

barls 路

good to hear mate i remember when i put my twin barrel webber on it went like a cut cat

PrettyBlueBug 路

Yay, hope it's all good when you get it back!

So why couldn't you do the alternator conversion...? Wanna u2u me the details? :P

killakornkobb 路

well today was good news bad news day..

more bad than anything.. atleast it drives it how i look at it 馃檪

BAD
- fourth cylinder only kicks in with the pedal straight to the floor.

-jets too big - drinky drinky.. especially if u need floor it to get all cylinders working

-fuel lines had NO hose clamps on them (thank you volkspower:vader)

-leads look like theyve never been changed before (as above:vader)

-semi-auto solenoid looks like it is gonna fall from its mounts( im sure if the mob i used to take it to to get serviced gave a fuck this list would be shorted.. god knows i handed over enough dosh. and dean if your reading, where the fuck are my runningboard trim clips? still waiting for you to call)

-mate has his girlfriends brother's 20th b'day tonight

GOOD

- should be able to order all the parts thru work, and get it done tomorrow night MAYBE!

killakornkobb 路

another addition to good list..

when its revving off at 8k, and all 4 cylinders r there.. it apparently flys.. just real rich 馃榾

anyone know who best to tune it in melb?

PrettyBlueBug 路

I reckon you should take little Adolf to Tucker Road Motors on North Road from now on, about 20 mins drive from you.
Dale is awesome, and has worked miracles with my 'lil PBB, gets the job done properly and not heaps of $$ like some are....
I'm sure he's had to learn a thing or two about semi-autos since I've been taking mine to him, but he knows his stuff! 馃憤

Have a word to Eden, he knows a guy who can tune anything and everything, I think he's getting his carbies done there.

killakornkobb 路

cool as laura!..

the alt stand couldnt go on, cos my genny stand has the fuel filler(normal) breather hose (normal), and then a solud hose into the sump. the alt stand didnt have this third hose.. and i don't think plugging the sump really works :/

does PBB have the 3rd hose?

oval TOFU 路

geez man, sounds like you've been having fun.... good luck with it all..




and I STILL have to give you those horns!

PrettyBlueBug 路

Hmmm.... not sure if mine has that, will run outside in the rain and have a look, I'm curious now!

*runs off*

*runs back slightly damp*

I don't think mine has that third thingy you're talking about....??

killakornkobb 路

hahaha yeah chris! i remembered right after i left yours the other day!

looks like u might b in the market for an altenator? i know a guy who wants to get rid of his..cos he can't use it馃檪

*did* 路

bummer. dont worry it will come together in the end 馃檪

killakornkobb 路

well its been another day, and we've made a bit of progress..

carbie is on, running... but idleing at about 4k :jesus

and its SOOOOO LOUD! also not running an air cleaner atm.. need to modify my ram-flo, and hope it fits when i remove the stand off kit (to prevent water getting in the carb) otherwise it'll be a flat top K&N filter with stand off kit on馃檪

shifter shat itself at mates place..i drove from boronia junction to stud park in second or as it's called "first range"

after spening the last 2.5hrs on the shifter with my electrician neighbor we have it working again 100% might i ad 馃檪 i now have a far deeper knowledge of how the shifter itself in an autostick works.. how/what where and why it engages/disengages... only thing is.. since it idles at 4k, it fucking KICKS going from neutral to anything

REALLY needa book it in for a tune/re-jetting luckily if have all of next week off so if i could get some details off laura or eden, if your reading my mobile is 0433544929 if u sould sms me a name and number for the tuning guy, much love馃檪

also got my centre console the other week (thanks sally:bounce) so i'll maybe put that in over the next week

Peace

oval TOFU 路

Good to hear that it's kicking! Literally by the sounds of it! Driving all the way home in second? Stop ya bitching I drove home from Chaddy with no clutch!:p beat that.

I pulled those horns out of the box today so I'll remind myself to give em to you the next time I see ya. or hear ya..

helen...

PrettyBlueBug 路

I just let Eden know to let you know about his carbie guy.... he should get back to you soon. 馃檪

Might have to get you to have a look at my shifter since you're a pro now! 馃槈

EgeWorks 路

You've got u2u Damien.

killakornkobb 路

drove home today and when i got here.. found white smoke coming from the engine bay.. the filler in the right hand firewall was red hot, firewall smouldering can't be good :|

killakornkobb 路

tried to get leads today.. reckon i could? no way!

ordered some.. should arrive tuesday morning, all going well

have attributed the idleing at 4k to a air or vaccume leak, so will chuck these old munted leads back on, try start him up and find the leak before it goes into the shop for re-jet/tune

shifter is playing funny buggers again.. but in a different way now 馃檨 hopfully it was because of a lack of vaccume when the car started to run on 2 cylinders lastnight

christ this is never ending

oval TOFU 路

once you get get of the initial monstrous hump of problems, you'll be able to fix anything that may happen to it in the future.. and since you did it yourself, you know you didn't take shortcuts. So that makes your car better than before you laid a finger on it.... unless of course you put it all back together and then find a spare bolt or two in the floor that should attached to something.... oops

killakornkobb 路

new leads in this evening.. still sounds fucked.. but not shaking.. so i guess it just needs the air filter on now to quieten it a little..

the zoom tube is now sending plumes of white smoke into my neighbors front yard!

and i have noticed the vaccume hose to the dissy isnt connected.. infact cant find the hose at all.. let along know where its meant to go on the carbie

killakornkobb 路

oh, and the new leads smell nice :jesus

pete wood 路

the vacuum tube should connect to an outlet on the manifold I would have thought?

killakornkobb 路

the one to the dissy is extremely thin.. i have the semi-auto looked up to the manifold.. i had to have the manifold tapped at an engineering place, cos it hadnt allowed for it. would have been on a manual before my bomb

PrettyBlueBug 路

Adolf isn't a bomb! 馃槩 He's tha bomb... 馃槀

killakornkobb 路

you wouldnt think that if u had seen him the past few weeks 馃檨

PrettyBlueBug 路

How'd you go today getting him all fixed? Suss out the problems with smoke and gearbox?

killakornkobb 路

no more smoke, but he is staying the night at apvwc wi'll see tomorrow :/

pete wood 路

sounds like the ticket. I'm sure once they get him sorted it will be fine. Don't give up on him, I think he's an awesome car. Once you get the carbie sorted you'll wonder why you didn't get it done sooner. 馃槈

PrettyBlueBug 路

Let's just hope they fix the reverse gear issue too, and it doesn't cost a packet! :duh

killakornkobb 路

adolf is running on all 4, idles after warmed up, and gear changes are smoother than ever, the weber, although not dyno tuned - just tuned to run half decent gives good accelleration all the way thru all gears making a much smoother ride. only downer is i have NO reverse gear. so car is sitting idle in the carport till i can find another transmission.

im also running my dissy without the vac advance hooked up i was advised to do this by mate at work, as he reckons the vac advance on an engine that isnt completley stock can cause pinging? i dunno how this is.. but the car drives great with it not hooked up - just advanced to compensate..


anyone got a tranny for me in melb???

REALLY needa get adolf back on the road, im using jennas car, which drinks the fuel and has tinkerbelle seatcovers and stickers everywhere:|

well its 10 months later and im starting to drive the old fella a bit :|

new gear box was put in by tucker road. and after a few issues after getting it driving again a few months ago all seems ok at the moment.

over the next few days i'll be -
1 sorting out a grommet for air cleaner/carbie
2 fixing fuel filler so i can take corners without smelling petrol,
3 properly securing decklid,
4 getting that pesky spark plug to stay ( thanks chris:P)
5 looking at re-mounting control valve
6 maybe find a good rewireing kit, failing that just hooking up the auto choke again,
tidying up the interior but NOT washing him!

prolly chuck the sun visor on again too

i'll be sure to post piks!!

ctefeh 路

Damien,
Are you running the DGEV & 009? Hop on over and check vwar.org to see what Stenis did about the CV hookup. Much better than running a "T", and good with a 009!

Did Tucker say what let go in your old GB? Sounded painfull at last description.


Regards
Ctefeh

killakornkobb 路

no 009 sean. standard dissy still.. i'll chase a 009 up though - iv been told theyre the go with the progressive weber.

i didnt use that T piece u sent me.. never got around to it.

tucker road didnt even look at the old box i dont think - i just gave them the one i sourced (80,000 OG miles on it) but i have got the old one still to have a muck around with. if i ever get the time or inclination 馃檪

havnt done anything out of my list today yet - been buying furniture and such... working bee tomorrow at chris' place! 馃榾

adolf has been asthetically fish oiled so dirt sticks, he is lookin nice and ratty 馃檪

YAY!!
I hope to see Adolph tootling up Burwood hwy early one morning 馃槈

killakornkobb 路

hey cetefeh reading that thread u mention the choke shorting on the shroud - happened earlier this week lol.. i currently have no choke - as avove 馃檪

68AutoBug 路

Well.
all those things happened to test You Damien....
Good to see you didn't change over to a manual...

I also had many problems during My resto.....
took Me 6 months to get the car into gear????
was adjusting the wrong direction....

I have a brazillian weber [solex replacement] with no choke, and it worked OK in the winter...
well it still worked...!! lol..
I know a fellow with the choke piece to fit My Carb,
reminds Me I'll have to go and see him before next winter..lol...

I would like to lower the rear of My beetle one day, although it had air shocks on the rear when i bought it, so it may settle down by itself... many of the 1500 do settle.

I still have lots to do to mine too....
even though It just got passed for rego for the 2nd time in 10 years...
I'm putting an alarm in next.... I have numerous alarms here but I can't get them to work the way i want, so I'm using a DSE kit....
I really want an alarm that beeps and flashes when its turned on and off....
but I'll have to buy one in the future sometime....
My front tyres rub now and then, so its up the height or use 135x15 tyres....
Your black wheels and white walls look great...
and the two tone paint too....

Its great we all have different tastes....

cheers

Damien,
It's pretty easy to get the nosecone, bellhousing and sump plate off. You should have a drain plug in the gear housing but damn the oil takes forever to drain out of it!

Probably better off chroming the "T" and wall mounting it!

Ouch about the choke wire:puke

Good luck with it all!
