Aircooled VW South Africa

I got a new boxed 25 year old Smiths Speedo and Tacho So now i'll be able to see how many revs I are having and how much i'm speeding. Great

Except the speedos a bit smaller than my old one although I was planning on redoing the dash anyway so will make a plan.

wanted to see the fit. some 185 tires look look strenched. on what size rims are they?

Does any of you guys in Gauteng know where to get Dynamat? The suppliers here in Bloem say the importers dont bring it in anymore! What else is good for sound deadening? Bug needs to get finished soon!!!

Took Ol' Betty on a spin after standing for a while. Sounding alright, but I suspect might need tunning. When I take a corner, she kinda struggles a tad to get goin - almost like she loses a drop of fuel or something

Eish, mist is another thing in this area. I could literaly only see as far as 2 cats eyes!!!!!!!

Do them amber spots help in mist, and if so, how should I mount them, and which do you lads suggest I should use?

you can get dynamat from livin' loud audio on 011 432 2070

it's not cheap though, R1400 per square metre

Thanks dsan, I'm sure it's worth it

Added a new oil-filled coil and fitted that. Also cleaned out the old original air filter housing and fitted it. Tuned the carb a bit, but realised this needs to be overhauled soon, so will look for a replacement

The handling is really scary when it's windy. The bug was all over the road with the gusts of wind, so need to work out why this is happening and also how to solve it.

Oubal my 56 ragtop now sits on a set of sprintstars sweeeeeet

Moved her into her new temporary home as her old home will now be home to an Italian missus. Eish, the joys and longsufferingness of polygamy. Ich lieb Afrika zu viel!

Bigger wider wheels Daniel San! Best way to gain grip to the black stuff, or a rather heavy load in the trunk *cough bag of cement infront *cough read ghetto drop. Haha

haha ghetto drop, love that.

once the narrowed beam goes in with the drop spindles and decent shocks, it should be better. will aim for 145's on the front, granted it won't help matters but the 1200 wasn't mean to go fast, only look hot

applied sound deadening material to both doors and rear panels. fitted new wolfsburg west door trims and handles.
