Aircooled VW South Africa

Did some work on the Puma again
I also put some clear coat over Lee`s Bug Motor and it was Quite a Quincedance he Detailed his motor also Metalic Blue
You will see that he has the intake manifold and alternator fitted on his motor and Phill`s motor all that we had stripped off

We had a whole team effort going Renay Braaid the Boerewors for the Rolls Spares sent for sand blasting after sand blasting closed all the areas that I do not wanted Powder coated
and droped it aff for a nice coate of Charcoal
And this is how the motor looked before we started stripping everything
Tha front rusted bumper on Renay`s bug was even Replaced

Nice....I like the engine colours!

That was a lot of turning got very tired after a while

Thanks pierre !!! that was a good weekend working on it.

we are getting there !!

I will upload the video as soon as I get a chance to edit it

Nice music...

Good to see the HSA being fully adhered to hey Pierre
Its good to see him doing some work occasionally tho, even tho it ends in his normal routine

Nice work Piere , Think my Dino and the Puma will put up a nice dice ... ; let see who is on the road first .

It would be disappointing not to see Bugger with out a drink.....

Bugger on the wagon is just a scary thought...

Like me without a Gas Mix....

What is happening with the Puma ? Latest news ? . I fitted my exhaust to my rotary today . double pipes... have a look under the Dino build.

Awesome project!! I´ve always wanted a Puma - it´s good to hear that someone is manufacturing them again and the quality of the body seems to be really good. I wonder if they would sell just a body and trim? I´ve got a whole bunch of crazy ideas in my head now..

There has been some progress things will be getting wilder in the next week or 2

The Puma shell only is available
Phantom has posted some info re the puma shells some where on the forum

Thanks Pierre! I´ll do a search,then. It could make an interesting future project.

Shit this project has taken a while but nearing completion as we had lots of snags with everything

I have built one of my Stage 1 transmissions for the puma so the box will be good for 150Kw on the wheels and that will make for good fun with this Rotary turbo in the Puma

I don`t know where the pics has dissipated to but here is a few new ones

we decided not to use the original motor that was bought for the project but a motor that was "Built" for me and I did a turbo upgrade for some more Hp and we went the water Charge cooler way instead of normal inter cooler
The motor was fitted 4 months ago already and battled to start it and when I eventually got it started the vacuum was very low and had oil pushing past o rings so the motor had to be opend again and repaired

Finaly got it back in the Puma and sorted the Microtech wiring out on Sunday and started the Puma for the first time again
The original starter Philip bought got chucked long time ago and with a Bosch bus one that also packed up and I replaced it also on Sunday to start the Rotary
There is a few small snags left on the Puma to sort out and then can start running in the seals so they can seat nicely

Hey Phantom Phondler

Your car looks nice! My puma project is also dragging feet but time just runs away hey? What is your car's number? Most Pumas have a number in the order they have left the factory. Do you know?

Good luck going forward. My build is under projects "My own Puma at last"
