Re: New Members - Introduce yourself..
Chris here, new member - I do NOT own a VW (any more!) b-u-t I have joined this Forum since my interest is in the tool trolley side of VW (so Hazet) (and Porsche, etc), as well as the tool cabinets, and then the ALBOY under-seat emergency fuel cans, as well as Eversure Fillacan, etc.
Currently looking for a Hazet STOOL - the small 3-legged stool that fits in the early trolleys, such as the 160 & 161, etc.
Cheers!
Chris

Re: New Members - Introduce yourself..
Hello to all - Richard Grotz here from Sandton, Johannesburg - a noob to this site.
My first ever car was a 1967 VW Beetle and from that point on, my love/hate relationship with these air-cooled beasts was forged!
My father and I now inherited a 1977 VW T2 camper van from my uncle - it was a mine ambulance that was later converted to a camper van. Many engine replacement and miles later it is now ours....
Any recommendations for quality yet affordable repairers in my vacinity? I want to have the ball joints replaced (I have new Meyle parts from Volkspares)?
Cheers
Richard

Welcome Rgrotz.
Show us a few more pics of the van and some history if you have any.
I'm sure someone from your part of the world can refer you to professional help near to you.

Re: New Members - Introduce yourself..
Hi Guys
Started the big strip on the 1972 South African beetle shell is away to paint shop and i am busy with the tub and engine rebuilds.
Some interesting facts stripped the motor and was educating my son on some engine measurements and the top ring gap was +5mm i could not believe this 1300 would still run but it ran faithfully till 2016 when it was parked in a shed on the family farm.
Now 2 years down found a decent panel beater who did a total strip and old school repair with lead really cool to see. this is where it is now chassis is done ,engine rebuilt and body primed

I've also had ring gaps like that. Usually when someone installs the wrong size rings.
