I saw that .. I thought it strange he was selling the wheels and the car ... I think it was on the Samba. Why would he sell those and buy new set to sell the car?

I found it on craigslist. He was gonna buy come stock chromies for it. He said he really wants a Ghia. He was asking like 6900ish for the super.

Got the new rims and tires put on this morning. Took her out for a spin. The fatter tires make it ride so much better. It's got a little shimmy in it at about 45. It stops about 50. Maybe a balance issue. I'll have to figure it out. Also pics of all the rear windows resealed.

looks great!

the shimmy sounds like a balance issue with the tire, hope that's it.

yeah I'm getting ready to tackle the struts, so after that my front end will be in good shape.

Bo hooked me up with a carburetor the other day and I picked up a rebuild kit from the Kaferhaus in Seabrook this morning. This was my first time tearing into a VW carburetor but it was easy and I enjoyed the process. Got her all put back together and installed it. It runs real nice after I adjusted it. Thanks Bo!
