Aircooled VW South Africa

I use Brake pipe or old beetle pushrods (cut ends off) to hide the threads, looks pro.

Wow JC, that looks stunning.
For someone who wasnt going to do much, I think you did pretty well...

So after a lot of carpet washing and washing and vinyl washing and washing and and and ,the interior looks all new

Rostyles ready for collection on Tuesday
Engine doing its carb setup and run in on Monday

So all and all it looks good for a drive on the weekend

Will post some pic`s tomorrow

wow that motor looks bevok JC !!!! Did you come right with that missing air cleaner item ?

maybe we can go for a cruise somewhere early Saturday morning? My place to tableview for coffee?

Thanks Paul i did indeed come right

Tony we can do it man ,maybe a small run for the fun will let you know if she passes road worthy , need my disk

Got the rostyles back

Nice work on the wheels. They look great!

I would like to know if anybody has a type 3 original exhaust (as a sample ,cape town area) ,I want to make up one as close to original as possible
For now i have modified a beetle silencer to fit the motor, had a nice old one laying around

Paul how is the exhaust on your squareback?

it seems my post didnt go through

JC, your engine isnt exactly stock anymore. Fitting a stock exhaust will likely limit your power quite a bit and possibly cause overheating. Either way, you will end up with a result you are not happy with and you should have rather stuck with a stock 1600

Those rims look lekker man,
Sean recently used my Squareback to take measurements and make a sample of the silencer. I'm not sure if it is commercially available yet from the fitment centres they supply, but I'm sure he will reply here.
I'm still running with the sample and its all good

Thanks Paul ,check your whatsapp

I want to use the original exhaust to custom make one specific for my engine and Z Heads and more secret parts from Tony`s LAB but still keep it looking original

And she runs



Anybody have sill trim clips?and a park signal lens driver side?

Thats good news. Looks nice.

Do you have the pic of those clips? If the same as for middle, beltline, beading then Wurth or Goldwagen will have as they the same as Citi Golf
