Aircooled VW South Africa

Hi all. This here is the reason for my huge grin.
Every morning I'm blowing kisses
Living in what heavenly bliss is







Really I could do this all night.












I have gathered a lot of bodywork and electrical work insight on this most beautiful car. Now I'm looking forward to mentorship and internship on the heart of the car being the engine. I have never opened any engine in my life but I'm ready to dive in. I have gotten two engines running using this forum but it was all just maintenance stuff.

I'm in Polokwane always have my eyes peeled for anything air cooled. I know all the experience on this here forum will guide me to guruland. To those with knowledge of suppliers, mechanics, machine shops, go to guys in Polokwane please do share. And please all Limpopians PM me, email me, watsapp me heck write me a letter but I'd like and love to meet up with anyone with anything air cooled even if it's just your hair.

Project by project, washer upon bolt they will all be driven.

I love the forum.super hyped to be honored with allowance to enter the Secret Society

Thanks for the pics Tshepo. Looks like you've been badly bitten by the bug. Once you've fallen for a Beetle they tend to breed. I remember when I was still living with my parents the yard was quickly full of Beetles shortly after acquiring my first one. Regarding tackling some engine work, you've already got the right attitude and confidence to start. Get yourself a good manual (like Haynes) and you should be OK.

So sad....you have the disease bud....congrats!

@73type2. I have bought the Muir book,the Bentley manual and the Wilson book. Once they arè here the bookworm in me will čome out. Plan on reading them like a novel -page to page -before I even unscrew a single bolt. I know the information contained in there and the knowledge I'm exposed to here will complement each other perfectly.

Tsepo boet,....skills are sharpened over time,....best is to start now. Cannot betaken away !
I found these gurus to be very helpfull.

Enjoy your condition,.....accept it,....... no cure at all. It can lie dorment for long periods ,... then flare up again with gusto!

Be selective to whom you pass it on to,.

Tell me about it bro. The mighty chronic bug. You are quite correct_the time is now because this here is guruland: skilled, knowledgeable and selfless souls with so much to share, the humor is the cream on the cake.
