Aircooled VW South Africa

I was wondering....
While I have the front fibreglass spoiler(scoop) off, it could be a great idea to pull a mould from it for future wet-layups to produce identical replicas.
That's now if anyone would be interested in acquiring an SP spoiler...

Just a thought!

Will be a good idea, PM me and will help you.

Thanx Retrovan, got your PM.

Such great advice and indeed the idea will fly!!
Seems like there are a lot of airheads out there that need some downforce!

eish, just got to this thread now and as i was going thru it as someone pointed out that u put ur addy on it, my heart almost stopped as we were sharing addies. i was feeling so buy relieved now that it was not because of our conversation. hope u get those f#ckers and giv them wat they deserve.

You can buy front splitter replicas from Volkspares, based on the originals. they not too expensive either.

I.O.W Louis you can get them from Dave Rowley

I should never have seen Dave's shop....there goes my budget for the next few years!!!!!
Also like the pic of us posted by Paul!

....there goes my budget for the next few years!!!!!

if i had a dime for everytime that was posted i'd have a real budget to work with

Rouxlouis,
I have a rear valance it may be too short. I also have a damaged bonnet without the raised section for the VW badge. Come and look see, let me know.

Hi Bushpig

Wow, this is great news!!
I have the cut-out of the rear valance and will load it into my car to compare size.
I finish slightly earlier today, how about a meet at say 15h30 today?
PM me and we can make arrangements.
Thank you very much, you really are a great help and I appreciate it enormously.

Dear Bushpig

My sincere grattitude to you for the time we spent together today.
I was absolutely AMAZED with the sleeping legends you have, your meticulous attention to detail and your passion for the beetle.
My heart is also like a minibus-taxi when it comes to beetles...... there's always space for one more!! lol
I will keep your best interest at heart when scouting around the globe. If it's 6Volt & Oval, consider it yours at no price.
I also extend to you the open-door policy that you provided to me with.
May the day come soon when those sleeping giants come out of hibernation and surprise the heck out of everyone!!!
You put new meaning to the saying: "She's got to be original, straight from her father/mother"
Please do remain in contact and thank you for extending such a wonderful helping hand.
Push on my button and I'll be there 24/7! ..... even if you just need a hand to hold something in place while you do your magic.
Grattitude & Regards
Louis

Thanks for that and the get together, anytime dude. I hope the piece fits, but just a thought. Try and lookup the companies that install Baja Kits. They cut the arse off and use a new bonnet and the cut would be the similar to the amount you had to cut, and they no doubt have no use for the bits removed. I will still keep a look out....

Awesome Dude, I measured it and unfortunately it only just doesn't make it.
Also dropped a mail to Alan at Beambug and I BCC'ed you into the e-mail addy you gave me yesterday for you know who.
Let's hope to hear from you know who. Hold Thumbs!!!!
As far as the doorpanels go, Shelly's got a pair for me.
R150-00 per panel !! A bit steep but at least I found some.
Slowly but surely things are coming together.
Please let me know when you're sending some parts for sandblasting/powdercoating.
Would appreciate it if I can include a small item or 2. Will pay off-course!

I am more into the older bugs < 68, but if i would build a newer bug it would be a SP. Love your thread. Just a word of Caution it seems somebody else (in the pic) got 1st option on the SP .
