The following sites are now available for use within my company. Due to our competitors allowing access to these sites, we were forced to follow suit… Being the “IT guy”, I’m thrilled at the unforseen problems awesomeness this move will throw my way.

So we finally did it! We got a Volkswagen at last! It’s a dusty old ‘65 Ghia Coupe. It’s only had two owners prior to us. It’s powered by a pretty strong little 1200cc, 36hp engine. It’s mostly complete and completely awesome!
The first issue we ran into is that the battery won’t hold a charge so it needs a new generator/alternator. That will be the first part of our first task, a 12V conversion. It’s not really safe for night driving right now with the electrical only being 6V so it definitely needs to be upgraded. I didn’t realize how much that actually entailed though.
- 12V Generator or 12V Alternator (and a matching regulator)
- correct oil stand that supports either a Generator or Alternator
- fuel pump
- 12V pinion bushing replacement
- 12v Coil
- 12v Turn Signal Flasher Relay
- 12v Choke element
- 12v Headlight Relay
- 12v idle cut-off Solenoid for carb
- 12v Bulbs (All exterior and interior)
- 12v Radio (or a voltage reducing kit)
- 12v Wiper motor (or voltage reducing kit)
- 12v Horn
So wow. This is going to be an ongoing project.
Pictures pending…
