Hey whats happening VW Aircooled!

I'm Cameron. Very happy to hook up with some other VW enthusiasts. I've been driving a VW for the past 14 years. I started off with a 1973 1600 Beetle. In 2000 I moved on to a 1977 1600SP and its been a passion of mine ever since! I do have a polo, but the SP is where the heart is at!

The SP is in fairly good condition, but has through the years picked up some rust considering it resided right next to the beach for 6 months. Its got close to 115 000kms and is about 90% original. I'm looking at getting it back into showroom condition, did some google searching and was happy to see this site. I'm keen on joining a club in Johannesburg. Any suggestions?

Hi All,

My name is Murray and I hail from Rustenburg in the North West.
I have been looking for a site like this for a while, looks like I've been lokking in the wrong places. :-)

Thanks for all the help so far. :hangloose: :wink:
