Aircooled VW South Africa

Thanks Pine....

So well after months of nothing happening, ive finally started again with this project. I have rebuilt the motor and last night got it started. .
Sounds very nice with new rings, alternator and exhaust and gave the tinware a new lick of paint. hoping to start with the body work in the near future... will upload the motor rebuild pictures soon...

I know if I did that at home, I would be single....
Either single before I start, therefore being allowed to rebuilt in the lounge.
Or definitely single by the time I finished... (possibly dead instead)

So,
My guess is he is single...

Nope he is married and his wife is expecting..... some say she is the perfect woman..lokl

was she away or in hospital?
If not, perfect woman indeed

She was present....lol... she supports his passion...if only we were all that fortunate
