Aircooled VW South Africa

Ooh, nice, not sure how I missed this...

Good luck with everything, it was a small mission getting some parts for mine so shout if you need a hand Mine is going back to my aircooled mechanic for a full new clutch as her thrust bearing is whining but other than that she runs pretty well and is neat for her age...

Started on car 2 weeks ago, lots done and lots to do . Started on chassis as well but will only complete that next year with new suspension parts. Need to get car ready for feb, so doing body work, will drive with holy pan and transfer body etc when other pan is done. Paint and filler does cover lots of the rubbish

Just more pics ..

more pics some of the chassis pics... this will not be fitted to car now-still need to get ball joint, control arm joints, upper and lower, will be replacing all wheel bearings.. bla bla... but no $$$$ to do that now... next year..,tme came and went

Nice. Keep up good work brotherman.

The squares really do look classic. I remember seeing the road clearly through the floor of my moms( a long ,long time ago!)

Keep up the good work.!
