Aircooled VW South Africa

This was taken on our wedding day.It was used as our wedding car.

The 90's weren't good for you Chris

I know,rub it in!

Duran Duran fan?

Actaully Bon Jovi!

With that haircut I was thinking more along the lines of flock of seaguls.

Kev, glad to hear that it arrived. You should of said that you're missing engine tin, I have a garage full of TP cooling tin that I'm never going to use.

What rubber did you use for inside the front compartment?

From what i can tell, these are the ones i'm missing. roughly



Everything that "surrounds" the motor.

Also, i'm hunting for a place to get a rear view mirror. Chrome preferably. Anyone know of where i can hunt one down.

G, i'll post a pic of the profile of the rubbers i'm using for all areas.

okay, with you...........I could of shoved something in the package if I knew.

Ever considered a Karman Ghia mirror like mine? Looks the part.

Can you send me a pic G. Where do you reckon i could source one, and do i get to retain the windscreen stay with a Ghia mirror?

No pics on me as of yet. I fabbed a mount that allows the stay to be mounted on the dash than rather at the top of the windscreen. Makes putting up and taking down the roof a doddle.

I literally just used the mirror, you could even have 1 made up, I probably would have done that if I knew it was so easy.

Considering the fact that i dont really do any work on this project anymore i decided to post pics anyway.......

Note the slow soundproofing process....i need time ......flashband on the steel, and high density foam on the fibreglass.....it already sounds better!!

I think this car rocks! I would love one some day.......

I think this car would look much better locked away in a garage than a fleetline

or just filling that open space in the garage

hmmmmmmmmmm, sexyness.

When I deadened my car, it made a HUGE difference. I just need the funds to finish off the rest and get some dry ice to pull off all the old crap tar mats that some twatt put on. No interest to move the battery to the nose section Kev?

It would then free up that back area nicely for a lock up storage area.

I'm liking.

hhmmm...not crazy about batteries full stop!! dangerous little monsters. i'm in no great need of storage at the mo......picnic lunh will go on the back seat !

Now readindg splitz comment......................................I've always wanted a split screen!!!
