Aircooled VW South Africa

Nice Yugan

Soon as the snowflakes replace those rear lights Cosmo will lighten up. No pun.

Good looking beetle

Absolutley right ... got a pair of snowflakes from Rui so I'm on track to change those when the work begins ... Thanks ... Cosmo need his belly rubbed. Now he's smiling from ear to ear ...

My vin is 1612### date of liability 1957. 01. 01 not an Oval, I presume it's a 58 then?

By the sounds of things yours is in fact a 'big window' 1957. Rare

Interesting! Thanks Mince......

All Good Art,...Just pulling your socks.....

funny man.

Furthering the point, your car is essentially a '58 but marked as a '57 because of it's year of production and sale.
In most cases, they are very sought after because of its rareness.
So if a window would need to change to make it an oval, you would first have to kill me, then do the mod and change the windshield and dashboard

Will keep it as is, I'm the second owner....motor runs like a 'Singer' all original except for the indicators...came with all manuals, tools and even a petrol booklet that was started in 1973 and filled in every time the PO filled up.....

Greenbean ... great car ... hard to find those things .... rare ....

Mince I hoped you progressed with your build since your last reply to me ... would really want to see that Oval completed !

Well, if you follow my thread, you will see where I am at at the moment. Working on the motor from this weekend
