Re: Finally my 1965 Split
My bus did not make road worthy as yet. So I was not able to drive her back and had to settle to drive my Dad's car back but have some pics and she is going for road worthy tomorrow. So hold thumbs. And it was not to bad as we did take her around the block a couple of times and drove to Melkbos in it. No cops in Stillbaai.
The inside

The bus outside

The engine bay and motor after my Dad gotten hold of it.

Re: Finally my 1965 Split
You would know if you arrived in Melkbos... It's a lekker place!! Lots of ACVWs for such a small place... Mainly mine.

Re: Finally my 1965 Split
On the west coast 35 km north of Cape Town, 3 km south of the only nuclear power station in Africa and the place where the north Atlantic telephone cable comes ashore, also the place where the English landed for the second occupation of the Cape during the Napoleonic wars and about 4 km from the site of the Battle of Blaauwberg. 7km north of the best pub in the world, The Blue Peter...
