Saw this '72 at a wrecker on Friday, probably cut up by now. Managed at least to get the VW script from it.. :(

Hi All I am considering to sell my '71 Sunroof De Luxe to follow other projects. If you are interested in a very dry SA Sunroof RHD EarlyBay in need of some TLC, please contact me by PM or e-mail at [email protected] Keep in mind that the Bus is currently in South Africa, so you...

It is a question often asked in the air cooled community - 'how do I reset the odometer of my VW to zero?' Well, I got the perfect solution, and it doesn't even involve disassembling the speedo - you just DRIVE your VW every day till you get to the automatic 'reset' point :wink: I had the...

From the Aussie Forum, this Bus was spotted at Pattaya Beach, Thailand :mrgreen: (*hic!*)

A pic of a 'drinking 'n driving' Westy spotted by my good US friend Henry in a supermarket in Omaha, Nebraska, US :mrgreen:

Saw this panel in Johannesbug today. It is in daily use, and the owner has secured some of the windows with burglar mesh. Do not know the purpose of the weird contraption on the roof, seems like two pipes going to the back of the engine, with the top part of a plastic bottle on the end. I love...

Fairly good condition, but without the rubbers. Will post pics next week. Offers?

After more than 500 effortless kms yesterday for work, through 3 South African provinces and along several gravel roads, I decided to treat the old lady for a car wash this morning. She enjoyed it a lot more than the usual bucket and sponge at home! :mrgreen:

The clutch cable on my '71 has started fraying at the spot where it is crimped onto the adjustment thread, and I know it is just a matter of time before it snaps. A parts dealer with a lesser reputable history sourced me a new cable today, but I am not sure if the one I bought is the correct...

Serious! In Alrode, an industrial area south-east of Johannesburg, Gauteng, ZA :wink:

Hi, can anyone help me with the correct figures to adjust the headlights of my '71? (Distance from wall, height above ground etc.) It seems at this stage as if I am an ant-aircraft vehicle at night, and the road if front of me is pretty dark :shock: Yes, I know - dropping the suspension...

My parts store ordered me a set of rear brake slave cylinders by part number for my '71. When I got them today, they seem to be identical to Beetle cylinders. Is this correct? The sticker on the box says VW Bus 1960 - 1978. Will post pics later.

At least I took the pics from my '71 - and that is the only relation to the Forum :? Drove behind this accident-looking-for-a-place-to-happen on Friday afternoon, from Rivonia Rd offramp to about Allandale Rd on the N1 North, Gauteng. I do not know what this guy was thinking, but the men in...

Always exciting to find an old ACVW by pure coincidence, especially an EarlyBay like this '71 panelvan I stumbled across in the bushes near Hartebeespoortdam today. Sadly, no salvageable parts this time :(

Today has been a public holiday here in South Africa, and with winter not yet completely with us, a large number of VW enthusiasts got together this morning at the Kyalami racing circuit to enjoy the last few warm rays of the sun. The event was the Gauteng Motor Show, and the organisers invited...

Seen on a d/c Bay at a scrapyard, does anyone know what it was called? 14 Inch, 5x112 PCD, 10 spoke aluminium centre bolted into a wide chromed steel rim. Now if only I can find a 4th one, I'll buy the other 3 from the scrapyard to make up a set!

Went to go and fetch the 2 cat children from the kitty hotel this afternoon, where they stayed while we were on holiday. Sharu, the oldest one, decided that the dash of the Bus is the most comfortable spot for the ride...

A few pics of VWs from the annual 'Angela's Picnic' car show we had here in Johanneburg on Sunday. Enjoy! :wink: Picnicing, that is what it is all about! My '71 with roof open Another EarlyBay Splitty Sweet '69 Auto Fasty Baja MiniMe STUNNING restored Type34 Ghia Ghia on EMPI...

So we've all heard the story of the Jack Russel that chased a lorry, caught it and then did not know what to do with it. Kinda sums up my emotions at the moment. It all happened when I drove past a sleazy pawn shop in the scary part of Johannesburg's CBD this morning... Saw a funny shape...

Guess it's everyones worst fear, stepping on the clutch pedal and with a faint 'click' sound - NO CLUTCH :shock: Well, friends that is exactly what happened to me yesterday afternoon while driving the Bay, and guess where? At 15:30 on the N1 highway heading South, just before the Rigel...
