Aircooled VW South Africa

I also hate looking over the top of my windscreen in my Beamish Buggy.

I'm gonna take out my seat cushion as it is 4 inches thick. Will replace with a 1 inch one and then I can sit real low.

Your arse won't be impress, especially on longer drives. Rather try and lower the seat.

My passenger side is fine as the seat is bolted to the floor but the driver’s side is too high due to the adjustable rail but it can definitely come down more and should solve the problem!

speaking of lights i saw a buggy forsale in durban yesterday and i might be wrong but he had the usual rubber light housing that most of the buggies use but it looked like he had LED lamps in there was thinking of phoning him and asking if they were anyone heard of these? im gonna call a supplier tomorrow and ask i think they use them in fork lifts and earh moving equipment possibly. update on the buggy tried to get the brake lines back today but the guy messed me around sooo hopefully tomorrow then i can do some work on saturday

Truck lamp make them and you should be able to find it at most parts stores.

shot spoke to the guys at diesel electric, they are avalible but pricey and he says the dont have a bright and dim option

so i got all the brake lines in on the weekend, bled them all seems well, then the big spring on the pedals that returns the brake pedal decided to snap so i need to get another one, lucky now i guess then when the body is bolted on. other then that the chassis is completely done hopefully going to start the body work next week

Started with the body work today

So whats happening?

Unfortunately not too much since the last post, I need a nice sunny day on the weekend to take it outside and carry on sanding if I do it in the workshop all the dust goes everywhere n dirtys customers cars etc, and I pulled the engine out of my Kango to fix a oil leak n just take all the cooling tin off paint alles n make it look a bit pretty also got a new exhaust for it today after Easter weekend I'll get on it again and carry on sanding once the body work is done the rest it easy

Okay finally some progress let's get this thred going again spent the whole of last weekend sanding and filling and sanding and filling
