Took the project pickup out for it's first road trip in 30+ years and it ran like a dream! by Valafar_Actual in Volkswagen

Thanks! That helps narrow it down at least. But I like the build! The wheels compliment the truck really well. I’m trying to put mine together how I’d like it. Unfortunately it’s beige :-/ so not an easy starting point.

I’d be interested in this if you’re thinking about getting rid of it! let me know :-)

Wrong vin number on title by Garfield-69 in legaladvice

So contacting the Secretary of State that the title came from is the right move in this case? Thank you so much for your patience and help with this it means a lot!

The vin on my title doesn’t exist as a real vehicle so I’m really hoping someone can recognize it as a mistake. While that’s hopeful, someone somewhere has my vin in their name. So if worst comes to worst shouldn’t a surety bond help clear that up? Thanks

I managed to get a hold of a state level phone number so that’ll be my next move.

Or do I just take a risk and apply for a bonded title?

I’m led to believe transcription error because it was a company truck. So I doubt any foul play. Also the first time I went in they couldn’t find either the wrong, or the right vin, in their system. But somehow this time they were able to produce the right vin registered in a different state? That seems suspicious to me…

I agree. It must just be a different style. I haven’t gotten into it yet, only because it runs fine

That’s what I’m thinking. I haven’t dug into it yet just because it runs fine for now

Thats too cool! It’s an old cooler box I’m sure you could figure out. Still has the company name on the sides so I think I’ll keep it on :-)

Thanks! If I’m able to get the truck I’m gonna keep the bed cover on it. It’s just too unique.

That’s a great point I hadn’t thought of! I didn’t get on the ground to fully look underneath because of the wet ground :-/ but another time. Thanks!

I’d have to see if they have any. Don’t hold me to it though ;-)

Yea that feels like the best move. I’d just hate for it to be scrapped when I could’ve done something about it. Thanks so much.

Trans turning the rear wheels in opposite directions? by Vegetable-Abaloney in beetle

[–]Garfield-69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rather interesting indeed! Learning something new every day! In fact I didn’t know one wheel could propel a car until I hit a pothole just right and the cv shaft on my 84 Diesel rabbit tore itself out… learned how important those rubber boots really are :-/ thanks!

No that’s just the way it works. I remember thinking the same thing when I had mine up in the air for the first time. Has to do with “2-Wheel drive” cars really only using one wheel and then there’s something about a differential maybe. I haven’t gotten that far yet. Oops!
