Well its done Kubel is now a road legal citizen of Bloem, it passed with flying colours. The oke's at the AA all took pictures and of course went for a spin. Now i cant drive it, its raining in Bloem and will be till middle of the week(i think its time for a roof). Just a thanks again for Pine for starting me on this project!! . Will be putting on pic's soon.

Thats kooooo(b)l(e)!
I've got a VWTrends article where that very same car went on a tour with some buggies to Mexico. Pity it never went into production..
This genuine Kubel is being auctioned next week Thursday in England, but yours look 100% better Danie!

Thanks Pine for puting up the pics, it was a real "kopkrapper" and a whole 2 days work. this mechanism can be modified to work on any cabrio roof, i will draw it with all the dimentions if anyone wants it, and it works great!!! Now i must find someone in Bloem to make the hood and i dont live in Bloemfontein but Soekfontein!
