| Ehm, What am I doing to the bug? Been a "work in progress" for the last 18 years! since bristol last year, I went self employed and had to use the bug as a daily, and just before i got the van, one of the carbs decided to self ignite on the top road! ( poor timing and diabolicle fuel settings were the cause of that!) recently I've made the decision to go down the classic cal look route, de-chromed, one piece windows, slammed, classic porsche wheels ( buying at freeze ) pastel paint! and i've already got a "period" engine, so smiles all round. hopefully be going to the prom cruise if i get the bloody thing put back together, half tempted to change the passenger floor, but not sure if i can be arsed yet. | |

| Get the back end up!!! Don't listen to everyone else on here, their minds have been warped by too many years of negative camber!!! OG paint and a big old engine is the way to go!!! | |

| Hi, Here are some pics, they are the only ones on the pc, used for insurance! i'll scan some good nostalgia ones soon, and take some of the fire damage before i spray over it. remember, these pics are a couple of years old, and a bit sh*t.

| I know the feeling Al, good to see an other old skool british custom still on the road! Don't forget the club meet tonite down maccy D's I still own my 1st bug ... Bought her in '89 & took 2 years to get her on the road, as she was an un-finished project when I bought her for the sum of £500 She's definately the produce of the late 80's / early 90's scene, with Empi 8's, shaved door handles & smooth dash ... although she's going to be getting a re-resto & facelift as soon as I've finished The Babylon & then Sharon's 'Vamp' Here's a pic of her recently looking a touch shabby , although started to change the look with the BRMs |
