Aircooled VW South Africa

The EMPI one with the black gear knob works well and had no problems with mine.

Hey 66,
2 questions:

Did you weld in new chassis halves??? And if so which ones??

What kinda paint did you paint it under and above??

Shot...

Happy building man!!!

Just went through the whole thread. Very cool bug and a killer motor by the sound of it.

had pretty small holes in the chassis so i never replaced the halves, just patched where i needed to. normal 2k black with lots of hardener and rubberizing underneath to finish it off

Finally!!! got the base coat on...... a light flat and on with the colour!







bus mater cylinder and bottle fitted

I like the Roller throttle.

nice!!!!!

Roller throttle similar to mags?
