Soon there will be another beetle in historics...

Post by 4agedub »

Some of you might remember the volkspares herbie... my dad bought it from Garin last week.
Soon there will be another addition to the racing grid. :D

Thanks
The steelies might have to go... they are 16" and the semis easaly available is 15". We might change the wheels to the same bbs reps as on my red beetle. It just makes it easier for backup at the track. :)

Congrats,

I'll definitely be at the next race to cheer for the beetle if it's there.

Here's a little update on "EX" herbie. The body shell was sand blasted, all the rust repaired and now painted in the same colour scheme as my beelte.

We're still busy with the engine, the gearbox has been assembled by Bugger with a shorter 3rd and 4th gear ratio. I dont think she'll be ready fo piper though, but we will try.

Sambas in South Africa are good for only 2 things: showing off and sunburn.
