Aircooled VW South Africa

Unique a touch as this might be, but would your supplier be willing to supply more dashes? That is nice for a new build as it allows one to customise as they wish. Even in FG would be nice, but carbon is the new FG!

Nice work, looking forward to the summer

He would have no problem to supply more, BUT the price was high, so I don't think demand will be that big. He can make FG ones at a reduced cost as well. Another thing, you have to be very patient as this is his secondary business.

BF, please either inbox your put up contact details here for me. I know of at least 1 other friend of mine who is looking for a dash.

A small update, although it's quite a lot of work. I spent my evenings this last week cleaning and polishing the gauges. I managed to do the speedo, tacho and multifunction gauges. I sill need to do the oil press, voltmeter and oil temp.

Comparison between polished tacho (left) and un-polished speedo (right).


Multifunction compared to speedo.


Outsides polished and inside sprayed matt white again. I am very happy with the outcome so far.!


They will all get new anti-reflective glass and that should be done in a few days time.

There is actually enough other tasks on this car to keep me busy, but I was curious to see how they would look all nice and clean like in a new car.
