Aircooled VW South Africa

This will be my first project ever. I don't exactly know what I am doing but I'm sure I will learn as I go along. I have the Heynes manual as well as How to keep your VW alive. I am really looking forward to completing it sooner rather than later, but that will depend on $$$$$$$.

This is my baby,



and this is why I'd rather build a buggy than fix her up.....







I am busy stripping her now so that I can have a look at what the state of the chasis is. Will keep you guys updated.


PS: any advise gladly accepted.

geeez the cost is a baaaad place, be strong you can bring it back to life

*lol* That looks better than my IRS donor.

I finally finished stripping the body off the chassis. I used a hacksaw and a hammer and chissel to chop up the body









Next up cleaning the chassis and then having it shortened. Who knows how long that will take.

I have a set of shortend handbrake cabels and a shortend selector shaft availeble if you are interested, all I want for it is a new seleftor shaft front bush.

Roelof

Ps. I also did send this message to Airpower.

Thanks for the offer Suzie I will let you know once I find out how short the shaft and cables should be from my buggy supplier

100%

I tooked mine out because i am stretching my Buggy, did not want to cut the new Pan that i got for it.

Is that a Z Bar in the picture?

Yes.

What Merlin said

yes

hi natbro, how is the buggy coming along?

Well, tomorrow I will be ordering the Beamish body. I will then need the chasis to be shortened, which the Beamish guys will do, then sand blasting and galvinising. Haven't done much since the last update, was witing on $$$$$

So I've now ordered the body, will be getting it end of the month. Dave Rowley will be shortening my pan.

Have you got picks of the buggy yet??
