Aircooled VW South Africa

Welcome, and especially to Riaan F. it's been a while, and peeps are hanging to see that white beauty you've been building for the past 10 years..
Glad to have all of you here guys, and pls share your builds and stories with us under the various projects pages or vehicle specific pages. New blood is AWESOME.

Hi. I'm a newbie here. Got myself 4 beetles. '62 '74 '76 '77. Busy in restoring the '62. Need some minor parts. Where can I source. '74 and '76 is due to become "ratrods" Need extra performance - to fit with image. Would like to stay with aircooled engins. Any advise, suggestions?

hey all

Welcome
Please add locations to your profile so we can help.
As for performance, how much can you afford?

Hey All! The name is Nick.

I am not a complete newbie to the site, simply lost the old login details. I had 2 beetles, a 58 and a 75. I am now busy building a Beach Buggy.

Will most definately be posting in Projects again.

Hey Everyone,

Btw... am loving the site!

Welcome all, hope you get a pile of answers here, and share your builds as you go along..

I came across your website and realise that there is a community of air-cooled VW enthusiasts. So I thought it would be good to join.
My (VW) cars are : 1953 VW Type 15B Cabriolet (photo attached)
1973 VW 1303LS Cabriolet
2005 VW Golf GTI (not aircooled, but manufactured in Sth Africa)

Lovely Beetle - welcome - post more pics of the other cars as well

I posted this somewhere else in the forum, but I suppose this may be the correct one :
Having come across your website I gathered that there is a community of VW Aircooled enthusiasts in South Africa and as such it may be good to be linked up.

I have the following VWs:
1953 Type 15B Cabriolet (photo attached)
1973 1303LS Cabriolet
2005 Golf GTI (not aircooled but manufactured in Sth Africa)

While the '53 restoration is nominally complete, teher are still some parts (engine-related) I am looking for.

Welcome to our part of the world
Cabrio looks stunning. I am sure I speak for all of us when we say that we would love to see a thread on the restoration project.

I realise I didn't mention that I live in Singapore (and obviously so do the cars). This project took nearly 2i years to complete (and there's still work to do) but it is now on the road and registered.

Your location says Singapore... I was there a few months ago for work... pity, I would have loved to see the cars.

What a pity! Hopefully not the only occasion you may have to travel here.

Hallo, my name is Wynand. I am from Ellisras and would like to say Hi!! I have recently bought my 3rd beetle and this one is for my daughter. I hope my stay here will be for a long happy time.

Welcome Wynand. I hope your daughter loves the car.
Send us some pictures and tell us about your other cars you have had
