Original VW Radio
A few blower fans with and without shields
A bunch of other random Beetle parts including gauges

Here is an interesting article from Engine Builder Magazine about the air cooled VW engine.

The Resurgence of Air-Cooled VW Engines
The iconic VW Beetle, known by enthusiasts and the industry as the Type 1, is probably one of the most influential and underrated performance vehicles of all time. It’s underrated because the car only produced between 36 and 60 hp, depending on which model you had.

Have you ever been in the middle of a repair job and torn the gasket you needed to use? Weber carb gaskets are only available in a full kit, and if you need a just gasket, this can be expensive.

At Volkswagen Factories, “Part No. 199 398 500 A” Is a Pack of Sausages
In 2017, the auto maker sold more currywurst than cars.

Brantford Volkswagen had a pretty awesome charity show today - lots of K-W & Area Bug Club members and friends in attendance. Thanks for the fun day Brantford Volkswagen! ✌️
I recently purchased a set of wheel adapters that allow the older five bolt VW rims to be installed on the four bolt VW pattern. The adapters have a small centre bore which therefore allows any modern tire shop to balance five bolt wheels. Without the adapter installed, modern tire shops can not balance the five bolt pattern. The centre bore is simply too large. I can loan my adapters to any bona fide KW Club member if they will pick up.
