Aircooled VW South Africa

lol guys...pine my dad had the same mags on his escort and he says they are called protex...blitz if you did some shopping there must be a pair left in sa but youre going to most probaly find them on a ford so youle need adapters...

Nice view from the garage..............kinda looks like our holiday homes view in Port Edward.

I like the Idea of pink, at the end of the day, you don't have to drive it around..........she does.

ps, all woman look better with make-up..........( I hope my wife doens't see that)....lol.

Ja true its her car but its going to be cool...and ja you better hope it doesnt because i told her i posted those pics and lets just say the seatcover is the washing at the moment...

oops i mean she doesnt see it...

we've atleast started with the pan it going very slow...and we bought the bucket seats...

I hope for your sake she doesn't see it, she looks like a real terrier!

she did and believe you me i got a beating...

Think you shoun`t show this to the seatcover other wise you got some serious graft ahead
This was done for a friend of mines wive `s beetle about 12years ago and the bug is still not built
I used that chassis for display at the Bugfest in 2001 on my stand but there was Quite mixed reactions over it
And some very wierd comments

we did some more work not much but its something...cant do much at the moment seeing that the buggies parts were floating around in the water as we are currentlly flooded her at the coast...

before...



after...



did some photoshoping (not my best work) just to give you guys rough idea of what we are expecting for the buggy



only differance is we are not going to take th t-top of...and i need help has anyone got ideas for doors???

Nothing wrong with the seatcover I think she is beautiful
I do think your gonna have to get her a sexy new bikini to go with the new T-top cause she gonna look so Grrrrrr in her aircooled...
Keep up the good work and post some pic's of the three of you working on the t-top....

This is gonna be one lucky lady.....looking good already!!

i did some more work...every bit counts just need to get the pink and silver spray to get the suspension and gearbox finished so that we can start to get the pan together...cant wait for it to look like the pan bugger posted...

spryed some of that rubber stuff dont know what its called...i think its stonechip...had to spray it with this kak gun...but it came out ok...we are spraying everything with this stuff so that the buggy lasts a while before it has to be rebuild again...

Looking good so far man

Just some info what I did before when I used stone chip on one of my buggie is that I sprayd 2K clear coat over every thing it gives it that shiny show look But the most important thing is Cleaning is made so easy Coz when you drive all the and sand goes in all the small holes but with the clear coat paint you basically just wipe or rinse it off with a hose

thanks bugger...yep im also a fan of clearcoat takes all the beating so that the colour doesnt get it...but i dont control the budget so we will have to see if i can get some..im also trying to stop the seatcovers dad from trying some wierd ideas...like using wall paint on the gearbox "cos it will be easier to clean"!?!?
