Aircooled VW South Africa

Where did you get those Firestones from? And how much?

Art,

I think Dolf imported them direct, not sure.

For those that did not recognise The avatar of Dolf, that is the 003 City Golf (3rd last ) standing at his place....

the tyres were imported from America, yes they were expensive !

wow !

can't wait to see what your camper will look like when it is finished

As a matter of interest no body filler was used in the complete repair process of the body and parts and where needed lead wiping was used. All loose parts were sanded down to bare metal and sent for e-coating. Unfortunately the e-coat bath was to small to have the complete body e-coated and we would have to cut the Beetle in half.

Dolf is that workshop in PE?

This is going to be one killer project - well done on the work so far guy, its superb!!!

Dude, if that is what the pan & panels looks like then I can't wait to see the car when its done.. Good job..

At the risk of sounding a bit dof, what is e-coating?

Its a special process to treat bare metal parts for rust protection, the same as done by the motor manufacturers.
