Aircooled VW South Africa

Blitz - thanks for the CITP pictures. My lowlight was the only one there, which makes it the oldest one on the show. I know of at least two others in restoration who will be joining us next year.



Since then I fitted the torsion bar covers



The correct knobs for the window winders and dash switches



and installed the quick shift kit I got from Rui.

Very nice.
Remember sitting in the study when I heard that ghia of yours come up the driveway when you came to see my dad about those knobs

To think I'll be driving one of those beauties next year

Looking very smooth,Didi.

I haven't been posting for a while, so here's a short update:
I had a problem with the brakes. The shoes did not seat well on the drums. After consulting Werner Alker on all the possibilities I took the drums for skimming (with the wheels bolted to the drums) and fitted new linings. Huge improvement!

I was driving on the highway, and picked up some bugs along the way

You should slow down with that old lady - Grapjas Didi!

Leker man
I can see that my bug is not there mine is blue those are all darkie ones

In my Spyder I get to eat them dam things

Now you know why they call it a Spyder.

Calooker= spiderman

Do you know what the last thing was that went through that bug's mind? His poephol

Tomorrow i'm installing a new front beam into the Ghia. Werner Alker also did the king and link pins and I got new tierods and bearings. I will take some pic's and post them tomorrow.

Didi I've found the weekend another Beetle & Karmann Ghia Club badge, but green. Will give it to you if you'd rather want it than the yellow one?

Calooker, do you also have to stop every 100km's to wipe the dead flies from your glasses?

I did have to stop once after a LARGE bug hit me on the top of the head, and had it's guts run down my fore head, YUK
