Patrick's bug in progress

Patrick is working on his own late model bug at the Aircooled.nl Garage.

At this moment the wiring is almost 100% done and Patrick is working on the interior.
This bug is gonna roll on Fuchs and will be ready in '09... at least that's the plan.

Aircooled.nl Beams...

Air-ride beams, narrowed beams, lowered beams for your early and late model aircooled (type 1, 2 and 3) ride all custom made by Aircooled.nl!

We will take a lot of this stuff with us to the 'Kever Winter Festijn' on January 3-4, 2009!

Check out more of our parts and beams in our Part & Webshop section!

Roy's '56 is taking shape

Roy did some work on his oval project again. One fender mounted and fits just perfect, the engine is in but stil a lot of work to do. Keep your eyes on this beauty!!

More pics can be found HERE, and be sure to follow this threat in our forums right HERE!

In the works...

Some nice rides in the works.
Michiel's '60 bug, a low light bay, Roy's '56, Niels' '53 BD standard, Goof's '61 ragtop etc etc.

Roy's engine is in!

After testing the engine where everything turned out good we placed the engine in Roy's '56 oval last week!

Meanwhile, the electricity was also connected and we can go on with the rest of the build!

The '50 split in the VW-Speed 11-2008

Found a picture of our '50 shop ride in the VW Bug Show feature of the 11-2008 VW-Speed issue!

Just another day at the shop...

We lowerd this early bay... it all still in progress but looking f#cking sweet if I say so myself!

This bus was imported by Aircooled.nl from California and is very nice, straight and has awesome patina!
It only needed lowering, narrowing and some minor touch up's...

Splits at the Shop

Nice view all these splitbusses at the shop! ...this was just a couple of weeks ago, COOL!

The '50 at the RDW

Last week we took the ex-shop ride, the '50 split to the RDW to get some paperwork done.
It was a rainy day, but further more it was / is all good!

Made a couple of pictures ofcourse... This '50 is still is a big favorite of mine, very cool to see that the new owner still has the vintage Aircooled.nl signwriting on it!!

The UnDutchaBles Splits

Last Thuesday (21-10-2008) I had to check out my friend Niels his new '51 crotch cooler split!
I drove my '50 split to his garage and had to make some nice pics of our two UDB split next to each other!!

Niels' ride is bone stock and mine is laying low... cool contrast! More pics can be found on Niels his website www.AirMighty.com.

In the works...

We have a new occasion at the shop... it's a '65 Squarebacks. But before it's gonna leave this place it's getting a propper lowering job!

Keep your eyes on this space and watch the magic happen!

Aircooled Chill Out's in '09

Looks what's back at the Aircooled.nl Shop!
It's the old shop ride... it's back from France "VIVE LA FRANCE" to get some paperwork done.

Very cool to see it back, it still has the Aircooled.nl logo's on it!
Nice to see my old and the new '50 splits together again!
