Aircooled VW South Africa

Did a "Bonnet" sun-visor for a buddy the weekend .....
I didn't like drilling holes in the roof

I think I would need therapy if I had to drill any holes in a classic car. But, then again, there was a time when it wasn't a problem for me.

That is different, is he happy with it ?

You may have to fit down supports to stop the wind lifting it up at speed.

Man, I was sweating like crazy .....Only one chance to drill in the right place. Measure 100 times drill once.

I cant say I like it myself,maybe if it was rounded off on the corners and some sort of trimming put along where it was cut it would help,but its not my car and I dont knock it as that must be the in thing now days.I do like the way it sits though how did they lower it for interests sake.

Front beam adjusters done by Volskie drop shop. Back lowered two clicks.

It’s an original idea... not my cup of tea though

How did you rustproof the areas where you drilled?

Red oxide with a rubber under the washer to seal it off

not my cup of tea either, but it suits the look. Well done

I'm actually wondering about the noise that its going to introduce.
You are taking all the air that would normally go over the windscreen and forcing it into a small gap and also forcing it around the A-pillars.

After the recent drama on the forum, everybody is SOOOO nice! There's nothing wrong with disagreeing with somebody, as long as you do it respectfully. Sun visors on classic cars are not for me. Neither are roof racks. Just more areas where rust can develop.
