Aircooled VW South Africa

Towed her back on friday 9 July 2010 complete March 58 with matching numbers vin, engine and gearbox. Rustfree with all parts intact ( will needs some finer bits). I am the Third owner. Will keep you posted on progress.

Had a close inspection this weekend and could noy find any rust issues other than surface rust. Although this is going to be a long process.

Seems that my project doesnt seem to be to exiting thus will do restoration in silence

Don't be offended, maybe it's the presentation. All I can see is the side of a white bakkie.

Of course the folks here are interested, they just haven't had anything to comment on yet (which is not altogether a bad thing...)

i agree dont be like that just post more pics so we can see what you see

Hopefully this will do the trick

Thanks

That does not seem to be the original motor for the vehicle if its a '58.... the genny pedestal and case are not one unit.... meaning the motor is either a late 1200cc or 1300cc or later engine....

...see my comment in your other thread regarding the same pics

more info is always useful, digital cameras are cheap and upload facilities plenty. what's your plan with the '58? how much work is needed?

Hopefully I'm not correct but a '58 with such a big rear window?????

Cool pics by the way

It has semaphores,so it should be a 58.

post september 57 aka 58 did come out with bigger windows up to pre september 64. Very little doubt its not a 58. Looks like a good project none the less j bug. Keep the pics coming.

Thanks Muds.

i looks like its still got its orig colour.
