my 67 with brick red interior to compare

I'm liking it.

i must have half a dozen black face ones which don't work anymore

T3D can convert them to a quartz movement if you really want to spend you cash that way. Personally i wear a watch

This what you need?

ahhh the old Mad box

TMI do replacement seat covers. Could be one of those kits?? I like red interiors and a red fastback interior is cool and stands out from boring black!

Here's my brick red interior

If it dies swap it for a beetle one they're the same. I get mine from GSF

that looks very nice

Securon do static belts for the rear of a squareback.

i agree most likely the crankshaft oil seal. Other causes could be the o ring on the flywheel (often missed) or the input shaft seal on the gearbox. no option but to pull the engine to find out for sure. Mine looked very similar infact quite a bit worse so i dropped my engine at weekend to find this...

i have 2 sets of lenses. 1 for the MOT and the other for the remaining 364 days of the year. I don't think my MOT tester would fail it on the lenses but for the sake of 5 minutes switching lenses it isn't worth the agro.

Pulled the engine out at the weekend as there was severe juddering when taking up drive on a hill or when towing. This is what i found... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v630/jccars/67%20squareblack/may09002.jpg Someone had fitted HD clips on the release bearing but 1 had come off and was laying i...
