Aircooled VW South Africa

Congrats. If I didn't have my heart set on a SC I would have bought it from Terry. Hope you are very happy with it.

I wanted a bay, but as explained earlier they are ether out of my price range or to hell and gone far away.

But l am happy tyat I have this one and now I can stop using my little Picanto as a bakkie or borrowing the works van for trips to the dump.

I am lately more interested in a T3 SC but finding a nice aircooled one that isn't falling apart is proving more difficult than finding a nice T2 SC.

When you are finished with your DC it could look like this.

I would love for mine to look like that (maybe one day)
Long term plan is to make a frame for the load bed and cover with canvas with extended roof rack for camping.

This is the way I'm going. NATO canopy. Much more useful than a canvas cover.

Mmmmmmmm I like as well
Maybe

I have previously mentioned that I have been having trouble with the dc and that I need to remove the motor to change the right hand side head.
Well today was that day I finally got around to do it. But before I send it away I need to clean it up and respray all the tinware this will be done during the week and next Saterday the motor will go to be done.
When it returns I plan to clean it up as well.
See pics and thanks for reading.

Well done did you get the motor back yet and your nato canopy did you manage to finish that ?

Got the motor back on Saterday only to be told that I need a new exhaust system as the silencer box was not silencing.
that is now sorted as we made a new one at work.
Now all that remains is to clean all the gunk off and install

So the above pics are of the motor as it is now, I have removed the carb and manifolds in order to clean the casing and then spray it.
Also removed the exhaust to "fit/weld" another silencer and then it is back into the DC.

Motor is now ready to go back in hopefully today or tomorrow

Nice work, it will look great when done

Thanks Herman
Just hope it works as good as it looks

Motor is fitted now only need to connect wires and charge battery
