Aircooled VW South Africa

tis beautiful indeed - congratulations !

and some pics of all your other cars please

What paint did you use on the Pan and Engine as being in Europe the weather is fairly harsh,was it a 2 part paint or a special application paint as it came out

The metal sheets from the engine are powder coated.
The aluminum alloy from the fan is painted with a special aluminum spray

The floor panels are painted in two colors.
As the first in white, then black. I know equal to stone chipping

Very nice Michael ,what size motor is in your Red Ghia does it tow your van OK.

For the red Ghia, I bought an old engine with 1500cc.
This has single channel cylinder heads. This is my favorite engine. The engine has the code "H"


The engine was disassembled quickly.


Trying different options











the built in version
1700ccm and two Carburettorsystem
Flywheel with less weight
External Oilcooler
Exhaust system from 1970 manufacturer is Sauer&Sohn

WOW. just WOW.

I like it,I must admit I have a single port 1500 in my Beach Buggy and it is like one of those old stationery engines they use in the field it just goes and goes.
What may I ask is a H'' code engine ?

my engine code is "H"
Is for beetles and Karmann Ghia´s

The old stationery engines have single ports too

here the codes from the engines
