  • Beetle ’71 (latest questions)

    Hello, I bought a bug a few weeks ago relatively blue-eyed, which I liked very much, but had not really informed me in advance… With the time have looked at the now relatively many people, and told me that I made a good purchase, because it is still very good in measure… However, I was asked again and again whether all these are original parts from the time. I can unfortunately always answer nothing. Therefore here my questions: How can I h I know that there is another engine in it, and that it has 50 hp, but what exactly it is, I don’t know… The chassis is changed, it’s in the driving licence, but what exactly can’t I say. Maybe it’s a bonnet, a shock rod, and a turn signal from another model… I’d be interested in the engine most, how can I find that out? For example, most of the other classic car drivers say hello to me… is that how you do it? Is there any more of these things? What’s there for meetings? cya mtz

  • Oldie suitable as a winter vehicle?

    Hello Oldie Fans Last year I restored a Ford Taunus 20m Jg. 66. It’s great to drive with it. I want to drive it only in nice weather. Now I’m looking for an oldie for everyday life (i.e. also winter with salt etc.). What do you think it’s too tricky, and will it get rusty in a season or will it not be a problem? I don’t want to ruin this car at the same time. That would be too bad. I’ve got a Chrysler Valiant 1971 2,8lit in mind. .

  • Erlking photos of Oldies

    Hello together, I have a new idea again, which could certainly interest many of you: I am looking for all sorts of Erlkönig photos of old- and youngtimers, because I want to put together a small collection. Today, after many years, you can see what has become of the unrecognized newcomers – there is certainly the possibility to make one or other puzzle of it I am grateful for every picture! I will soon return the collection to my he website presents. Greetings

  • porous underbody protection

    servus leudde! after three years finally found time to install my b-cadet new engine. after the part is now standing without a cardan shaft on the pit, it is possible to completely renew the underfloor protection. rust is not there at all :-)), but partly the old bitumen mass of the sheet. a few years ago I sprayed it from below completely with wax. in the next days I would either use a scraper or a wire brush the loose stil Is there anything better than bitumen spray? The other day I found plastic scar in the factory. the article kept relatively good on the inside of the protective sheet of my sr500. that’s why I thought maybe to work with it..? -> please write what you have on the bottom and how you get the old cracked layers down.. thanks a lot! scr

  • What diesel classic car?

    Moin. I’d be interested in what you might recommend for vintage cars with diesel engines. It should be suitable for everyday use, there should be spare parts and it should be as reliable as possible. Mercedes 200,250 and 300d W/S124 are of course high on the course, if the rust was not. At BMW I am especially interested in the diesels in the E34, but unfortunately you also hear very often that they have quite a thermal problem. Maybe one of you drives a vintage car with diesel engine i It should already be a limousine or a station wagon. So golf size or smaller actually falls out, since I already drive a Golf 4 Variant as 1.9 SDI in everyday life.

  • Ur-quattro!

    How many Uri drivers are there besides me?? *neugier*

  • Marker size

    Meal people On the advice of Flieger 1234 I ask here a question in terms of size marks and would like to know if there are similar experiences with you. And it is nevertheless so, that one can register with the TÜV a Max. size sign. This applies however only to the rear sign. Likewise can be dismissed from the registration office, that one has to get for it still another certificate from the government president. Now : With my corvette I had done so. But: back kan Allso TÜV, registration and hope that you will get the same shield sizes in front and back. However, since there are also short numbers not in abundance, they entered me at the TÜV the small two-line, normal for motorcycles, with permission but also for imported cars, registered,. I not stupidly, got all this permission from the government president Arnsberg. Folded everything super easy,also at the registration office ( same shield size in front of At the end of the year I reported the box for moth and wanted to register it again in April (I thought). All so with all kinds of troubles and the signs to the officials. The registration worked and it should now be sealed. Should. But they did not, with the reason, I wanted to mount an ILLEGAL license plate. So I pointed out again on the registrations and special permits of I HÖHERER STELLE, which also besides n par nerves money v All without success. The signs were drawn in place. Next point of contact was now Arnsberg again. Complaint. But, one should not consider it possible. They said indeed: The permits are right and cost only a small thing, but one would have no guarantee that this is also implemented in the approval office (must). discretion question halt. By the way: also registrations from the TÜV do not make sure that there is no problem in everyday life. even before decommissioning in general traffic controls can not !!! Now finally my question: 07 registration shield sizes . Who of you knows each other or has already been able to gain practical experience ß Who has had similar experiences with authorities ? PS Still what : ROT Blinker rear (original ) you also need by the government president ne special permit . But is not issued anymore !!! And Nu ????

  • Oldies – which buy and keep ??

    Hello, since I started to buy one or the other oldie 2 or 3 years ago, I wanted to ask you what is on the farm or in the garage or what you would buy? Which one is worth buying, because a value increase over the years wouldn’t be bad? I’m more a fan of day-to-day Coupe or convertible types, BMW 6er, Mercedes SL, so about the 20 years old. (Then the ones are still affordable.) I just read, that someone wants to buy an Audi Coupe. I find great! Please write your opinion! Greeting Jo
