Considerate neighborhood, here in JHB they usually steal the mags as well and leave the entire car on bricks :twisted:

Very VERY nooooiicccee :-), hope you got them when the sale was on !

They will look great on any acvw, but, as mentioned, more so here in sunny SA where they are few and very far between! :hangloose:

Managed to get my notched offset plates w/ cable spacers from the states..might install front Super Beetle wheel cylinders in the rear for some extra stop power
Also have the long axle gearbox for the straight axle conversion
So as far as Im aware the rear of the bus is sorted :hangloose:

Two new adjustable tie rods and 3.5" spindles up front, now I just need a beam or mine is going to the cutters.
None of the bus's original parts have been touched... yet,
And then the tires, which means suspension is almost sorted,

Quick update: Waiting for my dad to remove the beam and send it up to Midrand for the shortening, while the bus is in the air the engine and gearbox will be removed and the straight axle one fitted with the off-set spring plates,
Got a few bits for the Panel and Fleety

Would it be a bad idea to hit that with a paraffin gun? If you have an air compressor and a paraffin gun of course :)
