Started off with a 76 Beetle S.

Took 12 months to build after doing some serious searching for this type of bug with rounded window and 2 months aftyer completing teh project a rolled it about 10 times.
Sad but upgraded to a nice red bug completely rebuilt from someone else.

Welcome all newbies to THE FORUM. Many bring skill and knowledge, while others come to learn.

All are welcome home.

Hello, my name is Braham Laubscher, i was today at the motor show in Parow where i found out about this forum from the lady of Grand slam. I live in Stellenbosch and study mechanical engineering at Cape Peninsula University of Technology(new Cape Tech) and i drive a flippen awesome two tone 1600 beetle from 1971. I love her. She is a work in progress and needs a few things to get her back to where she was but i will slowly but surely get there. So if anyone has a beetle their stripping or has some parts for sale, let me know i will definitely be interested. So ja if anyone has any questions for me just let me know. Chrz....

Hi Braham...
welcome to the "family"...
Cheers

Hi all, my name is Eric. Me and a couple of mates are restoring a 1959 Beetle.
Hoping we can draw on member's collective knowledge to help us out!

Welcome, and help is all around.
In "projects" you will find a few 1959's, as well as others...
Have fun
