Manx Club

Well... do like I'm going to do to our original authenticated Meyers Manx... "I'm going to cut down the sides"!!! I've got it all figured out & will hopefully start on it soon!!! I have fibromyalgia (pain everywhere all of the time)... neuropathy, no feeling in my legs & feet, nor...

There are quite a few excellent transaxle repair & builders in SoCal!!! I've bought many Beetle IRS & swing transaxles, 002 (3 rib) & 091 (6 rib) transaxles for customers from RANCHO over the last 20 years or so & never had any problems/returns!!! I do know of a few that had some fa...

Hey lastmanx... I fully understand what you are saying!!! I've never had the pleasure & honor of meeting you in person, but I feel like I've known you for a very long time!!! I've been involved with car clubs, Jeep clubs, hotrod clubs & all sorts of clubs in the last 50+ years & they al...

Everyone should study & take the 2 meter ham test & then purchase a hand-held 2 meter radio!!! Much better range & easier to contact someone in case of an emergency!!! It would be good to carry in your car/pu or motorcycle too!!! Do a search on 2 meter ham radios, a ton of info out ther...

The offset washers are available, check with a major wheel distributor to find out who to order them from!!! I too like the one piece wheels... much stronger!!!

Mr. Bill... over the years I've only had a few speedometers rebuilt & a couple gauge clusters!!! I used "Fleet Speedometer Service" & "United Speedometer"!!! I'm not sure either one is still in business!!! I've heard of several places that specialize in VW speedos & ...

WOW... looking good!!! The gelcoat may not be perfect, but it looks great!!! Your hard work has really paid off!!! We bought our original Meyers Manx in Dec. 98 & I completely rebuilt her & it only took 21 months!!! LOL !!! Her name is Xena!!! LOL Since then, we've driven her a little over ...

Very good answer OldManx!!! On our buggy Xena, I went a little different direction with the front & rear shocks & they have worked real well for 16+ years & 87,000 miles!!! The King & Linkpin frontend on Xena was "modified" by her original builder back in 1968!!! They &quo...

What some awesome & very interesting stories. I wanted a Meyers Manx or any f/g buggy from day one of the first articles that came out in the various magazines. Early on, there was a metalflake blue Meyers Manx & a metalflake green clone in the small town I grew up in. I was mainly interest...
