Manx Club

Mel...Not to take this to far off topic, but yes, I have restored a few. I fiquire between the Cubs, Dunebuggies, and some other projects I have sitting around, I will have plenty to keep me busy when I retire. Here's CubZilla, I built it couple winters ago, it started out as (2) Cub Cadets, it is n...

The garage is full to the point that in order to work on anything, I have to move stuff out side to to have room . One of my other vices is collecting old Cub Cadet garden tractors, last count there are 30 something of them in the garage too. Coop

"Hey Coop,, you did the right thing I feel,,,, for Gods sake just keep on driving by it " Opps...too late...I felt sorry for it, it's now parked in my garage.... but on the plus side, it makes my Manx's look so much better... Coop

Yea, I was lucky to find both of them, I happened on the Manx2 by chance, I was doing a delivery for work and saw it in a yard for sale, $500.00. The Manx I saw here on the Manx classifieds, must have been just as it was listed, the seller told me I was the first person that replied and she had just...

The car is titled as a 1964 VW convertable, I will keep it as that. I will either cut the vin# off the old chassis and attach it to the Berrien, or have a new tag made up. I've done this before with a Shelby Cobra I built, it was titled as a 1964 Ford 2 dr. convertable. I'm sure it would not work in...

Hi Guys....Newbie here, and pretty new to the world of VW buggys. I bought my firsy DB about 4 months ago, the red Manx 2, s/n 1444. I was in the process of accumulating parts for it when I found the gold Manx here in the classifieds. It was in Jacksonville, Fl, a long way from where I live in upsts...

Just get the clear, bathroom adhesive/sealer, put a small amount on the backside of the emblem, put it on, let dry. I also use it to glue my radio receivers in on my radio control helicopters, if it will stand up to that vibration, your emblem isn't going to come off the buggy body by itself. Coop

Ok, I'll just buy the Porsche gear, sounds like the easiest option. I was told the 36 horse gear also has to have some machining on the alignment pin and cam bolt holes in order to be used on the Porsche camshaft. Thanks... Coop

I've got my Porsche 356 1600S engine out of my Manx tore dowm, I've got a question about the cam. Is the cam gear the same as a VW? I noticed that the gear has the # 111.109.111, and the VW logo on it. I need a new gear, and if they are the same, I'm sure the VW is cheaper. Anybody know? Coop

I have used clear RTV silicone to hold emblems on, never had one fall off.... Coop

Hi Guys....That is my Manx, thanks to Ron for posting the pics of it. I've joined the Club and had this Manx authenticated by Bruce. Here's what I know about the car. It was owned by Otto Roy Thomas Bowden Jr., he went by Tom or Tommy. He passed away this past December, 2007. He was in his early 50'...
