@brighteyefilms Nice, I want to buy a bug but people tell me dont there like extremely slow... Is that true i need some advice from you... It seems like u know alot about these cars.

[brighteyefilms]

@MuchLove4Ahat They are slow, especially the early ones. But you can get stronger engines in them. A 1600dp engine is fine.

damn man is their anything that you don't know lol....ok how about this......what do you do to put a dash back to the way it should be.....if some jerk has cut it all up to put in his "improvement" gauges

[brighteyefilms]

@vanityrose12 ha, you got me one one where I never had to do such a thing. I usually stay away from bugs that are chopped like that. But I guess you could go to a swap and see if someone has a dash to weld in. How bad is it? If it is not hacked too much you can put your own sheet metal in there.

What could be a good way to preventing hubcaps from getting stolen?, I'm from Nucaragua and hubcaps on any car gets stolen if you don't secure them.... How can I secure these directly to the rim?

In a pinch, you can fashion one out of a keyring.

[montrosepatriot]

My advice on hubcaps, trim rings, lug nut covers, wheel locks - pull them off prior 2 having the tires changed. I have known a few who have their vehicle jewelry damaged beyond repair...

[MuchLove4Ahat]

@brighteyefilms Ok thank you for the advice.

When I had to take the wheels off of my bug at school my teacher said to get a screwdriver and pop it off, but then i said you can get one of those things instead n he had never heard of it. but since i don't have one of those i ended up making one out of a welding wire, worked fine! =)
