Hi All,
The NEW, second member of my "Golden Trilogy" has arrived today. All dirty from the road grime collected by the road transport, all the way from "Durbs,by the sea" to here in Port Elizabeth.

Here they are in order of completion;-

1) 1959 Beetle. ..........Complete and on road... http://www.aircooledvwsa.co.za/viewtopi ... 23&t=20872
2) 1968 Fastback.........Still Project car........... http://www.aircooledvwsa.co.za/viewtopi ... 23&t=20281
3) Split Screen Bus .....(still only a dream)..... :cry:

Here are a few pic's of our latest arrival.

Spot the 1959 model......

Thanks Bugger, :D :D

Please tell me, what to do with my Fastback gear box.
The motor is now 2000cc, the wheels will stay 15"
but I want to be able to cruse at 120 KPH at low rev's
Do not want to kill the motor as I now have power.
PLEASE!......................... :zhelp:
