Aircooled VW South Africa

Thanks Blits.

The work has begun.

First thing to do was to replace the rubber seal that goes between the body and the engine that feeds air into the engine.

Cleaned off the Seal and bend the the clamps straight.


On the body side,the metal was bent inward,so I had to panel beat it straight



Then I replaced the Rubber seal



Now it can breath fresh air and stay cool.

Now i can get in there and do some welding, !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! B.A.B

Here is some pics of some small things I did.

Replace Spare wheel well plate that was removed to fit radiator


Right side light trim had a ding,and while I was busy replacing it,I fitted the eyelids too







Air cleaner taken off and cleaned

Looking to COOL buddy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!B.A.B

The more I look at that Notch the greener I get.
Nice job Chris.

Did some more work this morning.

Firstly,a good polish



Hubcaps had some spots of rust,so that got sorted


New wiper arm and blades fitted



Now for the oil change,and tonight I'll do the wiring on the gennie.

Nice Chris, would love to see it in the flesh (metal).

With the help of BAB on Friday,I replaced the plates that was cut out in the engine bay to replace the engine cover.



Also fitted the parcel shelf.

Thanks Blitz,my part came today.Will post some pics after I fitted it.

Well with all the Type 3 fanatics around, does anyone have a spare engine cover for me perhaps, they are the same on the Square, Notch, Fasty? Thanks!

Got the dipstick/oil filler fitting today from Blitz.
