Aircooled VW South Africa

Hi Guys thought I would share some pics of this relatively rare Kit car we are swapping out the collapsed gull wing setup and changing over to a lambo kit with solanoid pop out. Also changing out the dated bar light with our own rounded setup

If you need, or want info on the Eagle cars, why not contact Johan, he is the local expert, and holder of the most eagles in SA

His number is zero82 seven 599 five 99

Thanks for that Herman appreciate that struggling for glass for it

Great to be back on the air!!

That specific model you got their has a big history of which Wits University has a big part in but to answer your questions. You got a Eagle ss from the Uk their. It was a design study that the Late Bill Badsey and Bob White asked Wits University to do some design studies on the Eagle and improve the entry system into the vehicle. This was also Richard Oakes the designer of the original Nova in the UK 's concern. Wits did the study and the car that you are workong on is the result. The local study had a v8 in the front on a spaceframe chassic but as fate would have it the car was sold to an unknown buyer for a some of R40k in the late seventies and the car disappear and the money never reached the bank.
Luckily a few years later the Eagle SS pop's up on the scene and ja that is what you have their at the moment.
I would suggest that you talk to Ronnie about the windscreen but please make sure beforehand that the local Eagle windscreen will fit in your frame. Ronnie have two windscreens that is booked for the Eastern Cape in stock so if you talk nice to the old man he might agree to just compare the dimensions with your windscreen frame.
Thanks Herman for helping a friend in need and thanks guys for phoning.
Feel free to call if their is any questions to bring this beauty back on the road!!
