Aircooled VW South Africa

It is nowhere near complete, but here goes anyway...

Lets start with the color- Candy Apple red


We also want it to stop, so the mandatory disc setup in front


Compulsory BUGGER 'box


Smoked Taillights


Headlights


13B Rotary- 4 Barrel Nikki Carb for now.....


57mm Stingray Exhaust


Radiator Placement


All the work done so far was done by Johan from WSJ in Wadeville. ( Except for the Bugger 'box, Thanks Bugger. )
I will keep you guys updated as soon as possible.

looks good love the colour

You think it will go faster?
Just kidding.Looking good.

Nice ride, neat work, looks as if you are going to need to strap that tranny in nice and snug, the rotary is going to try and rip it apart.

Thanks guys, yes I will have to strap it in, do you perhaps know how much the gearbox braces cost?
I think I should also do a brace in front, just below the pulleys from the one bumper bracket to the other.

Nice! I love the colour and those front lights are super cool!

NIce to see it comming along and also love the colour

Give me a call then come past and have a look again at my bug to see the braces you need to make

Thanks, will do. I also want you to sort out the beetle's suspension(lowering).I will let you know when , just waiting for more info regarding the wheels I want.

Johan At WS can do most of those things for you I need to order some more Squat bars mine are all gone

im not a fan of rotary's(my opinion) but the rest of your car is absolutely beautiful!
i love that colour! red, if done right, does look good on a beetle. but i think you hit the nail on the head.

awesome ride...wel done

just a quick one....what you gonna do for bumpers? i think the euro style ones (i think they called that-the thin ones) will look really awesome.
or maybe a set of well pollished stainless t-bars?

a minimallist look, to not take too much focus off the awesome paint job

sorry, just looked again-saw its a post 73...where the indicators goin...the front bumper.
i had the same problem, i wasnt too keen on bumpers, let alone indicators in the bumpers. i could've placed them better-to late

anyway...awesome ride

I am going for the t-bars, the indicators will be in the headlights. I hope it will look good and also work properly.

Schweeet ride. Gonna rock out hardstyle. I have a model the same colour and bumpers. Go deep dish rims. Will kick ass. You might have a kak time with the indicators in the headlights, drilling for the might just ruin a great smoked headlight, and the indicator is not that bright,at night,it has to go against brighter headlight bulbs, and with the smoked you're def.gonna need bright bulbs! Rather stick the indicators in the front of the fender, audi a3 side repeaters look kiff. I personally have toyota tazz clear side repeaters on mime. Prefer the shape. Im loving your ride man. Keep it up.

Thanks for the tips Bugspray, I will look into the A3 repeaters. I also think 5 spoke rim with a deep dish will do nicely.
