Aircooled VW South Africa

Shoo,...thank god his a pro

Kak taste to boot....

All,

Taste,like common sense is acquired during those o so very, very important formative years age 0-6. He must have had a really weird(f@#$-up) childhood...ha ha!!! Anybody that does that to a Type 34 Razor..........................eish( Acknowledgement of confusion)....F#$% I just don't know?

But who am I to say what is cool or not............he may just be a nice guy with k@k taste...........who knows?

Just think what the guys in the UK must have thought when they saw that Ghia

First our president and now this guy
Things are not looking good for South Africa

Anyone who can do that to a Type 34 Razor and brag about it
needs to have his angle grinder taken away from him

He does sound like a typical american arrogant and an asshole. We should send his ass back.

No keep him here, perfect example to shoe people how not to do it USA style....

Clearly, you guys did not read Muds' post - HE IS A DUTCHMAN (HOLLANDER, lived in the UK for a long while), so NATURALLY the guy is a little, let's say confused

a bit like in a tumble dryer THAT IS PRETTY F*&%$D , Even if I say so myself -

not much leaves his shop either - we see the that he creates on a daily basis & they go off on low-beds, only to return again

Perhaps he needs to store the stuff somewhere else to make space for the next "Verkragging" that he is about to create

LET THE GUY BE - He's happy, taking lots of money from unsuspecting victims & getting somewhere - not quite sure where, however, there are a few of those around in this area & according to what we read on the forum, CT is not the only place

Guys, be aware & take care - Do your homework & make sure that you are not being taken by some for your hard earned money They can only do that for a certain amount of time before it catches up on them

Just saying

This is my opinion only & not necessarily that of others in our company

So I had a few minutes to kill yesterday and popped in there:
I chatted with Tim for a while and didn't pick up on any blatant arrogance etc.
I got to take a good look at the Razor, and have to say that I have no problem with the intentions - this could be something good even if purists have such a hard time with the idea. Nothing too scary with the engineering (at least with what I could see).
Unfortunately the execution falls short: In terms of proportion/aesthetics there is such a fine line in this kind of custom, and I don't think he nailed it. I'll wait to see it finished though before passing judgement.
What I saw of the sheetmetal work was pretty crappy (though I have seen much much worse) - unless a lot of the work is going to be redone this car is going to take a LOT of filler........ He sure would benefit from a little education in this area.
No comment on anything else going on at the shop as the workshop area is closed off to the public....

Howzit Barry,
did you possibly invite him to a course or two your side? Possibly he's not aware of what you guys offer. Nice constructive feedback by the way.

I left a card, which says we offer courses on the back of of it. If he is keen and can read I'll leave it up to him to get in touch. Unfortunately in my experience most guys who are doing work for customers aren't interested in my courses - either too expensive (LOL) or they can't or won't justify the time to improve their skills, many believe they are top notch craftsmen, or they don't do the work themselves and won't invest in their staff......
No wonder general 'industry' standards stay where they are

Not stirring just a question, does this site not encourage and welcome members from other countries? Cos ive seen a fair bit of dissing going on, where is watercool from? Just saying.
Greetings lions supporter!
