Aircooled VW South Africa

Seeing that there are a few non aircooled toys hanging around, Post them here! ***cough, cough, Skymac, Cough***


Here is the hint you were wanting in the 924 thread

You bought a Bell Jet Ranger??

You'll be in Margate for the holidays?

How in the world is that guy sitting in the back of the Esprit? IS he sitting on the head? Wish it was a Bell That i got No, the Esprit i missed getting last year by a matter of minutes

You're spending a white Christmas in the Alps?

Here is the next Hint

Mmmm; Yaris nose with a Lotus badge....Proton?

No, i was messing around and put a pic of the birds car up but no1 took the bait...

here are some of mine, will post more pics later.
The spitfire being stripped before redoing it.

some more of the spitfire, after lots of work

will take more pics of the chevs and hudson etc this weekend

That is gorgeous Skymac! WOW! I love Spitfires but was forbidden from getting one(they too low, you will wind up under a truck). Needless to say my dad actually had one back in the day (also British racing green). How many layers of paint did you remove before you sprayed the red?

Wish my front clam or rear clam came off as easily as your spitfires nose

The bonnet just hinges off two bolts in front of the car.
There was about a thumb thickness of body putty in some places on the body, took a lot of heating, crimping and panelbeating to sort out the problem, there was also serious rust that had to be cut out and plates welded in.
I am now busy with the wiring, then it is done. I have 3 beetles waiting their turn as well.

I have bought a Marlin Roadster, look it up on Google, I believe it is the only one in Souith Africa. It is a Brittish kit car built on a spitfire chassis.
