KEEPING AIR COOLED ALIVE IN SA - YOU WANT TO?

Post by Grand Slam Aircooled »

As you all know, or should know,

Grand Slam VW Air Cooled VW, are now importing parts, to keep these wonderful vehicles alive & running in South Africa,

We are looking for distributors of parts in SA.

No matter where you are based, if you can keep an "Air Cooled" on the road, why not ? :hangloose:

We will be at the "George" motor show to chat about options, so if you are interested in stocking up your supplies & making any "Air Head's" dream come true, with convenience & decent pricing, come & talk to us.

We look forward to seeing you all at the show :D

It would make sense for Bugger to become a distributor,.....I dont think there is a busier ACVW restorer/machie in joburg at the moment

@ Terry Philips - when did you send PM's - I have not received any ?
@ acpaterson - I got your PM earlier today & am just looking for your bits, I have replied via PM, but still have 2 PM's in my outbox?? Not sure how this is working.

If you like, please use our email address , or or you could reply with your enquiries via the website, perhaps we would have more direct contact that way.

I have noticed that the PM's take longer than the regular email.
