Vw 1600 SP

Post by Louisben »

Hey people.
Hope you're all well.
Haven't been on here in a while, my project is almost done.

A special thanks to Jan Nel (Noddys body shop) for the body work, Dave Rowley (Flat four Racing) and Trevor Bastick (Basticks Engine Rebuilders) for the engine and front suspension(still need to fit) and Clinton Bannister (Steenberg Motors) for helping me finish it off, fit the engine and getting it to run sweet.

Here some picsImageImageImageImageImageImageImage

Looking forward to driving it.

Cheers Ben

Sambas in South Africa are good for only 2 things: showing off and sunburn.

Just one thing I noticed and thats the clear plastic hose you used does tend to go hard after a while and could become problomatic after a while. I am not saying dont use it but just keep it in mind.

Thanks guys. Yeah the plastic hose is not ideal, I may change it to a good quality rubber hose, but I'm first going to see how the engine goes
