I'm new on the list, have been lurking for a while. Everyone in the family had a VW (parents had a '68 square w/problematic FI, and later a '73 auto bug). Had a '73 type 1 several years ago that I loved dearly but had to sell for the engine because of the infamous metal-eating disease/hammerhead pan twisting (have been driving a 97 Jetta since then -- sorry to blaspheme on the list), but am now dreaming about returning to the air-cooled fold and will be searching for my rust-free, straight-framed, nothing-else-matters Type III (right now I'm thinking variant) just as soon as I buy a house in about 18 months. I am looking forward to having a proper place to do my own maintenance/resto (apartment complexes do not appreciate that sort of thing), so am gathering info/learning right now from y'all and am very glad you're all here... So my stupid question of the day is, what is FLAPS? I gather the last three initials are "auto parts store?" But I'm clueless on the first two letters... "xxx local?" Anyway, just thought I'd say hello and thanks...
