Aircooled VW South Africa

HAHAHAHA

Well then carefull what you ask for then....

Hey Good News everyone My Dad & Mom came to visit me at Juergen's........

Here are a few pics of what has happened to me since you last saw me

My brakes have all been stripped




And these are the NEW ones that my Dad gave to Juergen to replace the old ones


Just look at the state of my front suspension Dutch, yours also looked like this


My engine has also come out......


And the Oil cooler is not very well Just look at the state of it



And then Juergen STRIPPED my Carbeurator too


That is about all for now, more next week - my Dad & Mom are happy with my progress so far - Thanks Dad & Mom, I am going to be BEAUUUUTIFULL when I come home

Ron,they broke your car!

Great to see the old shop and progress. Saturdays are not the same anymore and I miss them very much. Good news Bobbie and Mo have landed, cleared customs and should be collected this week. Will take pictures and post when they are here.

Gill went to see "the Notch" (we really do need to come up with a better name ) and she said there is lots more progress. She said she (the Notch ) looked very strange with all the fenders removed.

I was quite shocked to see all the debris on the oil cooler. But not surprised. Remember the smoke that came from the Eucaliptus leaves that lay the air intake plenums?

For Jeurgen: Did you do an end float check on the crankshaft yet?

home made exhaust, done it before too

Yeah... Previous owner. I have a 4 into 1 T3 exhaust to replace it.

Well, well, well...... I know that it has been a long time since the last post, but we have been very busy here at Grand Slam

Project Notch is well under way and we thought that the guys would like to see a bit of what has happened to "HER LADYSHIP" since you last saw her



As you can see Juergen is quite serious about being a VW fan

This is how he has started "UNDRESSING" me


AND MORE


Look at the State of my fenders

And then I was NAKED


Just a peek at how Rusty my body is, never mind the Floor Pan



And now I'm at the Panel Beater to get all fixed up

More later when Aunty Es has taken some more pics of my progress

Still working on getting the rubbers. Have a quote from the UK.

Eish... a cool 500GBP for two door rubbers, two lid rubbers and an engine cover and dipstick rubber. Mutter-mutter...

Checking elsewhere...

You know exactly why I'm laughing

You guys don't miss me then! Jurgen looks far to happy now, what have you done to him?

I love this thread as it brings back great memories around seeing Bobbie going through all this stuff too....lovely to see another VW being saved!

GBP500 !! for a few bits of rubber

Can buy a split project for that and have change left over...

Looks like she is getting a PROPER restoration, love it!

Why in hell are you guys pretending that the car can talk?

500 quid, jesus wept, who are you ordering from?
