Promised myself that I would never get a water cooled VW .. but then I found
this one and it sucked the money out of my wallet.
Had no choice but to take it home .. It had no owners manual - It has been
customized on the inside. I am waiting for the manual
to arrive from an eBay seller but wondering if there is somewhere a download
of the manual or part of it .. I want to know where
'things' are .. I am guessing that the lighter holes are somewhere under the
customized areas .. Drink holders >> wonder if they
have been covered over too. Here is my new 'ride.' I am very nervous ..
never had anything other than air cooled.

Bwa-ha-ha... That's a great one, you shoud pose beside it! Except for
the wheels (They just don't look right) someone did a great job on it.
You won't mistake it for anyone else's car!

Yea, wait for the manual, it should answer most of your questions. You
may also want to get a shop manual too...

Up here we need defrosters in the winter time!!!
Always had good heat in my Beetles, but needed paper towels for the moisture
on the inside of the glass. YUCK! AND always had 4-40
A/C.................4 windows open at 40 miles per hour! lol

congrats on your NB!
I see one here that needs an engine and you make me want one now after
seeing yours! ;-)

Really? Did you have a problem with your air cooled beetle? My brother used
to say 'My feet are watering', our superbeetle would get so hot (and we live
in Chicago where winters can get pretty bad). On the other hand, my dad's
74 camper (early fuel injection where we'd often have to start it by runing
a hair dryer on the injection to warm it up, even when garaged) had terrible
heat, but we always figured that was because the volume of space was so big.

First year that I drove it it was nice and warm. But things started to
corrode and valves didn't seem to open etc. which caused loss of warm air.
My father used to own a bus and it was the other way round, couldn't turn it
off! Also stuck valve problems, broken springs etc.

the person who I bought the bus from 10 years ago decided I didn't need
heat.
so he ripped out all the heater hoses etc .. I would love to see that person
again.

prone to hitting the curb .. The stereo is insane .. I don't know how to
work
it .. one of those HUGE speakers in the back .. the music that I listen to
doesn't
need bass speakers or whatever they are called.. the groups I listen to were
actually musicians ..
