So, whats been happening?

This is a quick update of what is happening at http://www.aircooled.co.nz - we would really appreciate it if you could please share this post with any VW friends, family, colleagues on our behalf. (copy and paste it into an email).

Firstly, the launch of the Airmighty Magazine last year in NZ has been a tremendous success. We have a few back issues still in stock as well as the limited 2011 Portfolio, all which can be viewed here http://www.aircooled.co.nz/index.php/mags-n-rags/airmighty-megascene/

You can now purchase from our website 1yr subscriptions (4 editions) of the Airmighty Magazine, this offers a saving of around $35 p/year compared to the international sub fees.

Our first stock consignment from Airkewld (USA) has sold extremely well, we still have in stock a few BAD Series brake kits for both Beetles and Buses, narrowed beams, dropped spindles as well as various billet engine components.

Due into stock in about 5 weeks is great range of German Quality parts from BBT VW for your Aircooled vehicles – from Rubber kits, front end components to engine seal kits and components.
These are high quality products (not of Chinese origin) perfect for keeping our cars on the road as well as for restoration projects.

An example of what we will be offering of includes:

Engine gasket kits (36hp),
Oil change kits (25-36hp)
Low distributor caps
Ignition points 1954+
Engine comp seals
Window Rubber Kits (deluxe type) 53-57 & 58-64
and more!

Remember, these are NOT Chinese manufactured products that other companies are offering!

If you require something specific please don’t hesitate to ask.
