Aircooled VW South Africa

Time to put this one on the projects.
Ibought the bus a few years back in Ermelo and took it to the farm near Wartburg. Was towing it with an A frame and just hope that the cops would not bother me.


From the farm I put it on a trailer and bring it to Pmb.Where it was parked in the garage.

We built a frame to turn it on the side. and we stripped the bus for the repaires.

G you have some nice toys!! What are the plans for this one?

you should see his place, has the ability to make a grown man weep

Plan for now is to restore it but with low budget so it will take time. Will shift attention slowly from the westy to the DC

Here are some pics of the DC stripped.

Before the bed was removed, we(Fanie) sweeped the floor.

After the bed was removed

Floor in the back of the cab under the tank was rotten and taken out

Where I come from we call that kind of "A-frame" a ski rope.

Now this project I'm really looking forward too!!!!

Hi Fig that was only to get it out of the garage(waenhuis), use a proper A-frame. Those cops at Greytown are bad, fined my father driving my Isuzu (+-95 model) with those other kind of light switch knobbies in the dash because he didnt know where to switch the lights on.

I figured as much; was just poking fun.

Still looking for bay window floor to fit behind the back seat under the loading bin.

There is a bay window here in durbs at one of the scrap yards. I'll pop down there on saturday when i get home and have a look for you

Thanks. 2 leads in Pmb to follow up. In Pta at the moment.

Spek to Bugger about a Bay that is for sale by him.

While I am waiting for the panelbeater to finish with the Westy Idecide to start working in the DC. Today I started to kleen the underside of the DC, the section between the engine bay and the rear tortion bar

Should I paint NS1(rust buster) and then NS4(red oxide primer) or directly NS4 and then proper black paint 2K ?

Blits no photos yet I was to dirty to use the camera.

Nice to see that she's getting some work done.............been a while since I saw any movement on the DC front.
