Just remember, make it driveable then make it pretty. At the minimum, with a running engine in the car you can drive it, which is more than a lot of us can say. I would keep the running engine and work on the rest as time and / or money allow. do not know if I will ever get to the pretty part . I love to drive it too much ):

Back to the origenal question the hose you want to use is the VW type blue hose that can be found at the vw parts houses . I have ghia front disk brakes and 944 porsche rear disks with a stock master cylender and no valves . The pedal has a bit more travel but will stop on a dime . Cheers,

Hey gang I remember someone here fitting some louvers to the back window of their twoie, i cannot for the life of me remember what car they came off of. I want to say a datsun z car but am not sure . I think that would cut the heat in the car for summer time cruizing . Do not have ac yet .

My GT2 gets high 30mpg on the freeway but drops to high 20's in traffic. He hates to be running slow . 1600 dp with 40 idf weber carbs . I wish my GT II with a 1600cc will render up to 30MPG, low 20ish and that's it. I am really light footed <cheap> if I do get into it I can push the mpg below 20 . When kids see the car out they always seem to ask "is it fast?" my reply is it does ok but it does get great gas milage . Cheers,

Before trying to fit them make sure your butt is not sagging . Do a search on the subject and you can find info on how to determine if you have it . Cheers,

My twoie has some holes in the headliner that indicated it had VW sedan style visors at one point . Between you and me I would not really want to hog up the limited windscreen viewing area with visors. You would never get to see the traffic lights unless you installed a prizm . I was thinking a full width wink mirror could double as a visor ,if mounted high enough . Cheers , Steve
