Aircooled VW South Africa

Hi All
Have mine for a few months now, been getting odds and ends etc..... Drives ok.. power is ok.. dam noisy though. Bought another Pan as well... as ive got a few holes in my floor after the carpet was removed... hopefully should have it up and running end of the year or sooner... (depends on funds...)
Im sorting outthe paper work,, but been told its about a 67 or so..

Hi and welcome - Looks nice

Where you from?

Hi and thanks for the welcome
Stays in Randparkrdige, originally from florida (westrand)...
Car looks good from far but far from good..lololo bit of surface rust here and there... and on the roof edging... bonert is terrible.... and pan has lots of holes in them.... i got a rear bumper already... and few ods and ends... but hopefully with help of forum guys(who already helped me out with spares) i should get it running and sorted out by the end of the year

Shes a beauty!!!
Looks good and soild!!!
Nice one, congrats, its in a better condition then mine.

Whats your plans for her?
Are you going to keep it the same colour?

Hey biggie thanx for the comments
Plans to keep it the same colour, paint work is really not that good when u go near... its blown over...the bonnet pait has got no hardner in it.. so when its a hot day paint gets soft and kinda like creases-.. so plans for now is to over haul the chassis and suspension as i have a seperate pan complete with suspension,so gonna do drums, bearings, wheel brake cylinders right round and fit new suspension bushes etc.
Then just transplant my body and motor to new pan (will clean up motor and check that all is well before transplant but keep it standard .
Will def slam her as low as i can... gonna go for more of a patina/ratish look, by flatting down the blow over and get some of the origiinal paint out-but also repair and fix all surface rust and replace all rubbers and refurb beadings

I have the rear reflector housing rubbers for you. imported them by mistake. Shout if you are interested.

Ok so got another pan from one of the guys on the forum, thanks for the pan, really good condition. 1 Small hole in battery box but other than that clean, small bit of surace rust on small places but other than that just needs a good clean... currently work ing on sealing the pan again

Looks like a good base to start off with. Is that red the original colour?

Hi Marshal GTI
Car has been blown over on the outside only, but it is the original colour of the car. Sprayjob is really not that great when u look closer...
Thanks for all the positive comments guys
