Hi, my name is PH, I'm a mechanical engineering student at tuks. I'm looking to start a new Notchback restoration project. My dad owned a '66 Fastback back in the day and I've always wanted to restore something with sentimental value. Love the forum, it's great.

Hi Aircooled Folks!
I am one of the Radels,i work as an Aircraft Ground Engineer for Swiss Int Airlines,also heavily involved in maintaining the Lufthansa A380
that one can see from the Freeway when passing OR Tambo.
When it comes to my Aircooled History do i need to say more,it was handed to me by my father who most of you know,so the passion
for aircooled equipment has been with me for all my life.
I have a few prize possesions,a 53 Oval,a 56 LHD Ragtop,and a 67 Split Window Bus to mention a few.
Thanks
Martin
Hey
I am the very proud owner of a not sure what year model VW Beatle - Buzy respraying and redoing the engin. Loving every moment of it. Hope to learn a lot more. This is my pride and joy - love driveing it. Can't wait to get it back from the panelbeaters who is doing my spray job. Upholstry is also being done. I'm from Potch. Im a House wife - mother of two teenagers. Nothing smart as a Engineer or student but love my car.

Welcome Baksteen. Its always good to welcome a female member! Sure you will enjoy the forum as much as your Beatle!
I'm new to the aircooled world, and still looking for a project car.
Got a mate in Nelspruit that might have found me a beetle, so hopefully soon I'll be starting a build thread.
He's also got a contact for a split window kombi, but that'll be his baby.
Hi Guys. My name is Marcel, a VW novice. However , I bought myself a Fleetline Splitwindow Kombi and am in the process of restoring it. I would really appreciate any information regarding the restoration such as parts, engine and brake conversions and safari windows etc. Thanks
Greetings!
Just started working on my own beetle and saw the Forum, looks like it could definitely be helpful. Took a look at some of the other projects going on. Looks great!
I got bit by the bug in the 90's when I bought my first and only Beetle a '64 1200 with 6 volt electrics. Got her (Betty) for a steal at R1400-00 (I thought) despite the fact she had stood under a tree for 12 years without moving. Amazingly hooked up a battery, crimped a damaged brake line, changed oil, and drove her 20km home! It was the beginning of a fantastic relationship! Sadly the 1200 gave up a few months later, but she had been my daily driver from purchase. In this time I QBE'd as a home mechanic and had done just about anything a Beetle could need. I even tried to sell her once, but took the cheque back the next day and asked to have her back! She is still in the family, though I never did get to giving her body the makeover it needed. I still have two original motors for Betty and would love to finish the job, though my dad still enjoys an occasional dash around she is sadly mostly stored. I still have a wishlist of those I would like to own a 411 Station Wagon and Kombi are top of the list!
