Sambas in South Africa are good for only 2 things: showing off and sunburn.

Re: KLASSIC FAB SOUTH AFRICA
Yes Johan, as the Brazilia is basically a split rear with a bay window front we will be able to get panels.Johan Eagle wrote:Will they have panels for a rusted Brazilian as well?
i have posted this in the beginning of the thread and will again now...
go to this site and have a look at pic's of all the panels, bus and beetle ....ignore the prices unless you want to buy in Euro's
but it gives you an idea of most of the available panels.

A pillars - the front two pillars that the front doors hinge on.Bugger wrote: post that lesson here then some of the other guys that also get confused have a quick reference guide on this thread
the inner valance and outer valance is removed, only the headlight carrier panel is left.

B pillars - behind the driver and the one that the forward cargo door hinges on.
only the pillar on the complete right of this pic is the B pillar...the other two are reinforcement pillars !


C pillar - the one that the rear cargo door hinges on.


reinforcement pillars - the ones on the inside of the long panel running from top to bottom.

here are some additional pics of the air filter tray and the battery tray


and these are pics of the inner rocker KF 531 fitted




and these are the Jack points

Re: KLASSIC FAB SOUTH AFRICA
I agree with Warick. Nice to see and to understand how things fit together. Look forward to updates...
