Aircooled VW South Africa

I have been negotiating and paying the last couple of weeks on a Notch that I have been interested in,and now finally she's mine.And thanks to Wentzel got my first pics to share with you.





There are a couple of things that has to be done,but that's to be expected.The car is complete,and the OG engine is being replaced.The car is almost rust free.

I have already ordered a couple of parts from calooker.Unfortunately the nose has been cut to fit a grill for a radiator,but it's no train smash.The wheels are 356

nice.. been sprayed?

I think,but I'm not sure.

NICE NICE NICE score.....................well done.....

Thanks FFF.

What engine has it got at present? You can keep that grille for the aircon

The engine that will be in there is the OG 1600 engine with a EMPI exhaust systym.

Apparently the PO said that the car can do oner 90mph!

That would be indicated 90 yes
Max speed for the 1600TL 83mph according to the 1966 Autocar test in front of me.
Pop a T4 in there and you can do this ... or more http://www.aircooledvwsa.co.za/media/speed.mpeg

110mph!!

Make sure you have brakes too

Very nice, Chris! You'll have great fun with it, but just keep an eye on the rear window when Calooker is close to it

Congrats Chris. It looks like a nice car. I like the yellow bay in the background too.

Unfortunately the bay is not mine.But thanks guys!
