Aircooled VW South Africa

Yes, those seats were fitted to 78/79 microbuses.

So the garage is full and more than enough space to move around and have a nice workbench


2 windows are in ,IRB has been ordered to size so hopefully it will be finished soon,then i can remove camel`s doors windows and not worry about rain


A bit of filling for the new entrance

Slowly but surely getting there, more work tonight after work

Its looking good, like the way you are playing musical chairs with the buses.

Every photo they parked differently.....

Good luck with the completion, and then I would think its time for project threads...........

So after a long time working on other stuffs i got to working on camel so firstr the floor

Nice to see the camel getting some attention now JC

Any chance it can get to the car show 6 th Nov ? We must get 20 splits man ....

Maby next year paul hahhahahaha

Ok ,so how far do i go before i need to support the structure?
The front and back floors are done, bottom nose section will come of tonight ..well inner and outer valance and bottom nose skin as there is accident damage.
Does anybody know how tall the bottom nose replacement section is? it seems i will have to replace from under the light bucket

Rust likes hiding away

Hi JC
it is always better to only chop off the rusty parts once you have the replacement parts to measure correctly. I wouldn't chop the lower nose panel unless you have the replacement to work from....We do manufacture a very nice rear floor , and we also have front floors in stock, was the front floor completely gone or could you have saved the center section ? front floors are quite pricey....
You can email us for some prices on the panels once you are ready.. aircooledspares@gmail.com

E mail sent just waiting on you quote ?
Thanks

OK so its been a year
She is in the spotlight after sorting out my other busses and variant





















So much rust cut cut weld weld i will get there

Looking good JC...you need lot's of practice so you can help me with my Fleetline called "Toe"
I'm sure together they'll be a hit

Some more work done over the weekend,









I had to play around with the colour a bit.....dark olive green and some savanna desert colour. Looks weird on the photo but the bus is deep in the garage and paint was still wet,i think it would look better in the sunlight

Things are a happening keep going dont stop other wise it could also end up as a barn find for someone else. No nice job you are doing I like that colour as you say in the sun it should be even better.Good job there JC.
