Aircooled VW South Africa

Some of you might remember the volkspares herbie... my dad bought it from Garin last week.
Soon there will be another addition to the racing grid.

Taking her home
If all goes according to plan she'll be on the track before December. Hold thumbs.

Awesome! I love the steelies on that Bug

Thanks
The steelies might have to go... they are 16" and the semis easaly available is 15". We might change the wheels to the same bbs reps as on my red beetle. It just makes it easier for backup at the track.

Cangrats!!

I've been for a spin in it a couple of times with Garin. It goes well. Nice toy.

The steelies might have to go...

U got mail

Congrats,

I'll definitely be at the next race to cheer for the beetle if it's there.

That's a really sweet Herbie....well done

Here's a little update on "EX" herbie. The body shell was sand blasted, all the rust repaired and now painted in the same colour scheme as my beelte.
We're still busy with the engine, the gearbox has been assembled by Bugger with a shorter 3rd and 4th gear ratio. I dont think she'll be ready fo piper though, but we will try.

Cool to see the project progressing nicely

The roll cage was that the one that was in the bug ?

Thanks
Yes it already had a cage.

Paint job looks cool - nice colour !
