Aircooled VW South Africa

Hi Guys, I was offered this camper by a customer of mine who saw my Fleetline standing at ,my shop and wanted to know if I was interested in another one he had, that has been standing next to his garage for three years. With nothing to lose I went and looked at it and it now stands next to the other fleetline at my shop. It needs a coat of paint but the body is rust free. It has a s/p 1600 engine in which started up after cleaning the carb, replacing fuel filter and lines. Im sure the windows are from a canopy and will require changing. The roof flips up to the drivers side and the canvas has a small rip in it, which i will have repaired. I will keep you all updated on progress.

hey congrats on your new bus, this one has character, camper roof and all !

Hi how much for the other ?

A really unique acvw! Just what they should be! Well done

Looks like she's got a lot of character - well done !!!

Cool bus DR
I stay close to where you work some times I drive past there and I have seen some buses parked out side but never had the time to stop and have a look at them

Please feel free to drop in and have chat sometime

Where in the complex are you at the super quick it self

and who must I ask for cause I don't want to go there and ask for DR Watson and then get looked at like I'm retarded

Cool Fleetline Doc! Pity about the ugly windows but I love the pop-top.

Thanks guys I appreciate the positive feedback. I will be replacing those horrible windows with louvre type ones. Im at the Supa Quick and you can ask for Deon, Dr Watson also works but sounds much too formal

If it were mine I'd keep the right side window, fill in the left rear window, and fit kombi cargo doors with factory windows. Problem with all hacked-in windows is they don't have the factory frame that allows them to sit flush; they always stand proud of the body.

Cool I will pop round some time for a chat

Thanks for your advice Fig, I think Ill go with your suggestion on keeping the right side window but still fitting a louvre unit. I have a set of fleetline doors with the
original windows that I will fit.(Thanks Bugger) Blanking off the hole where that "AWESOME" looking canopy window is shoudnt be a problem.

Its been a slow process but will get there eventualy. Bus has now been stripped so body prepping can begin. All the new rubbers,window sliders etc still need to be organized,but Im sure a chat with Rui will sort that out Here are some pics cause we all know how much our members love pics

Good one Deon, nice to see your new project progressing
