Aircooled VW South Africa

Stunning car..... I have to admit that I miss the scenery and the cool cars. I've decided that there is no where like SA to take great pictures!

Glad there's no damage, brings back the memory of Mo losing a wheel, on only her second trip out. After that I bought a torque wrench and now I check them all the time!

A real beauty there Farhaad, ,btw how many splines to get the stance ?

Farhaad, your 66 looks awesome! Seems as if there are more and more GOOD restos comming alive!

@hr, who would imagine the paint and epoxy on the rims would be the cause of the nuts to come off. thanx for the tip. i know what im doing 2moro

Farhaad, I can not seem to drool over the pics on this thread in the 1st page as I have that 'expired/moved' box. Can you make a plan khazie?

pics dissappeared this side too!

Re : powder coating on rims.
Yes the powder coating does become powder and the nuts will be loose. Best to grind away the coating under where the nuts will contact the rim.
