Aircooled VW South Africa

Short history of the bus called Chilli

Chilli was purchased as a donar bus for the Sweet Pea project
Was is pretty good shape but the papers and seller were really dodgy

Sweet Pea
Roof
Bumpers front and rear
Gearbox
Seats
Door parts internal
Many other smalls

Muds
Engine tin - to go with Sweet Peas 2ltr

Bushpig
All the doors
Maybe still the skeleton from the nose
For the front ender ex Grand Slam

Jolas
Lucky winner of a nose skin for the highlight back to lowlight Westy


And then there is Dennis and Donovan
Arrived early yesterday armed with many cutting tools and protective gear
Sills and chassis sections for the pickup
Still trying to figure out how to remove the back axle
Need a bigger trailer

A real pity to have treated her like this but her bits will help to get a few more of her brothers and sister rolling down the road

The final donation will the ox blood colour that will be going onto the Manx

RIP Chilli you have made us proud

Thanks Warwick, Dennis, Donovan and Chilli

good to see parts being used..........we scrapped a 74 single cab a few years back as I wanted the cargo floor, my buddie to the rear suspension and gearbox and the rest went in a skip, pity as so much more could of been used........must of been about 10 years ago easy........times change.

Thanks a lot for the panels Warwick, and the boerewors rolls !!!!

Paul your piece is at my parents place.
