Aircooled VW South Africa

Hi guys on sunday i bought myself a running buggy needs quite abit of tlc but will sort her out asap as i would love to drive it asap just looking for seats but a friend of mine said he knows of a set thats layin around so will hopefully get them.

Now my knowledge on buggy's is pretty bad so ill be asking alot of noob questions and will probably always sound like an idiot anyway here is apic of her crappy pic i know will upload better ones this coming weekend...

O and i have been trolling the internets is this a Kestrel Kartkraft buggy?


Really bad pic i know

thanks bud

Well it is always either between the nice body but needs alot of work or the ugly one that will be less work to use haha so just depends what the wallet allows to do haha

Now i was sitting here bored and thinking of the buggy now the lil 1600 ac in it runs pretty well but i do have my 9a 16v from my golf laying in the garage so maybe slot that in on sidies how hard will it be??

But i am undecided....

please please please don't butcher that 16v by fitting sidies

It would be seriously quick - An ABF in a friend's Jetta MK2 can hold of G4/G5 GTI's until 3rd gear or so.

VW 16v's are the shit

Oooh yaah !! Do it - but go for FI then the buggy will FLY !!!!!!!!!!!

Haha yea it will b quick but decided not to as ill keep it when i get a 2door mk1 or a caddy

Yea i dont want to but another lil car popped up for 8k and i really want an old school mk1 so want to sell the buggy for 10k
If i cannot sell i will like to keep it but i really want no wait need a mk1 haha soo any takers???

And really sorry if i am not allowed to do it this way as i cannot post in the for sale section.....

9A make up ur mind lol...

as long as you remain in the veedub familia

Its called "gatjeuk-itis"

you better hurry ,theres a guaranteed 6k offer on the golf already
