Aircooled VW South Africa

Thanks for the comments guys.
Farhaad, good question, its the engen close to Macassar on the N2, I think there is a houtbay sign a little before it, hence it got christened the Houtbay engen, even if not near it

Work on this one will only start next year though. Other projects must be done first.

Cant wait to share more stories. Bugoff - sssshhh.

In the Western Cape till tuesday. Have a swop to make with MR. Mudz on tuesday, some type 3 parts for a certain notch.
Next time we are down here, it will definately require an ACVW get together! Who knows, with a bit of luck, early in the new year.

n2 near macasar sounds more like it . another meet cant wait. hope u enjoying cape town.

False Bay...Hout Bay....nah call it what you want...won't ask directions from you

It's like Boksburg, Benoni, Brakpan.
Or Vereeniging, Van der Bijl Park, Vaaldriehoek.
To "foreign" people all the same place.

Hope you enjoy Fleetfoot.

those are in Nigeria right?

Got the fleetline a friend...

Battered and bruised, been standing a couple of years. not much rust, but needs a new paintjob and some panelbeating:



A made in Britain Corgi split bus. Just couldn't resist when I saw it standing in an antique store

Hoping fleetfooted will arrive next week - holding thumbs !

Anyone local ever try to "Sambafy" a fleetline:



The regular windows appear to be pretty much the same to me ?

Engine vents look similar, and I already have the white bumpers

Next week? It was already on the truck last week. They taking the scenic route or what?

Fleetfooted is going via PE.They are picking up cars here and then on to Jhb.

Makes the price a lot better.

KK if to cut a hole in the roof then you need belly pans to strengthen it. Also need a nother nose without a badge. Ther are more sambas out there than fleetlines. That is now outside South Africa.

Took a drive through to Uitenhage today to fit a battery in Fleetfooted.

Unfortunately I couldn't get it started.

Here are some pics for you Karma.

Thank you for your efforts Chris !!
Skuld jou .

First thing to do is to get rid of those golf arm rests!!

She doesn't look half bad, can't wait to get her going!

Looks good!

What engine is that? 1600?

looks like a 1600 TP from here?
Love that airfilter.

Are the flikkers a hack or the original?

Karma so is the bus going up or down?
