Aircooled VW South Africa

So some time ago, I picked up this 57 from under a tree and gave it to my son. He worked on weekends and sold all his other stuff, like his racing bicycle, one bumper and some other goodies to fix her up. Took it to a for a respray and 4 months later I collected the bus and took it to another gent. Here are some before and after pics. Will post more as he gets down to the hard work. Oh by the way,....his bus..his money..he can do what he wants

Before







After

Looks like it's missing a set of bumpers...

who done the bodywork and a ruff figure of what it cost

Eugene, that looks absolutely stonking !! Well done to your son!

Muds

Looks like an awesome start. But one question ... Where was this tree?

I love the colour scheme

I like the colours as well. Very nice.

Remember last year when somebody wanted to swop a 64 beetle for his bus. Glad he decided to keep the bus.
Good to see the progress.
Is he going to assemble it himself?

I'll help him but want him to do as much as possible

The tree is still there....but the bus not

Thanks guys, I'll pass on your comments

Looking good, Eugene! My only question is - since kids are so technologically knowledgeble these days - why don't you let him register on the Forum with his own username? (If he for example wins a raffle, it will give his project a healthy boost)

Awesum bus!!! How old is your son?
