The '77 Pink Bug

Well, after very little nagging from me, Dave has started back on my car this weekend. I think the possiblity that i might sell it has given him a bit of a push to try and get it done for me.

For those who don't know what my car looks like, heres a few pics of her in all he glory!





She looks a bit sorry for her self in those pics but shes still beautiful!

Anyways, what Dave has done to her this weekend is....

Bought and fitted a new interior





Painted her floorpan



Fitted new wing mirrors



Fitted new doorhandles



Fitted the wipers



And fitted a new throttle cable, after he stole mine to fix his bug. How many throttle cables can you break in a week thou??

What i've done to her this weekend..

Hung some pretty flowers in her that i bought at Bristol



Whats still left to do...
Fit Engine
Fit Carpet
Fit 1 Headlight
Fix brakes
Paint wheels, and bolt on bits
Fit running boards
Buy/Fabricate some bumpers
And fit all the pretty pink sparkly shiny bits i've collected over the past 3 years, including but not limmited to a pink poodle, pink jeweled tax disc holder, pink fluffy steering wheel cover.Plus it will also need some striping and maybe some flowers or something airbrushed on.

But hopfully (fingers crossed) my little car will be going to BVF!!! Yay.

Well done Dave and Rach.....its starting to look real cool Rach.....looking forward to seeing this on the road at a show or a club meet.....the only question is will Dave be driving it???

If you guys need a hand with anything just shout i'd be more than happy to help or hinder

and Rach that flower stand at Bristol Volksfest was so cool......

Yay about time to on both parts (dave get some work done and you for getting a thread up)

Going be cool to see it on the road if you need a hand give me a shout and i'll see what i can for you..

Thinking of changing the insurance over to this one, so Daves can come off the road for another re-paint, and as i'm on that insurance as well, it may very well be me driving it!

But at the moment, we just plan to get it on the road by BVF and do that one, then i'll decide whether or not to keep it. Its all very unceratin at the mo as depends on a few things as to whether or not i sell it.

I've never used anything different?!? .... What is there better to look at for inspiration for curvey lines!





There isn't that much to give it away as the ann summers catalogue! I think you've been "studying" it a little too much!

well done dude and dudess.......I'd love to see the baby on the road.....got anything you need metal flakeing...it is the future you know...............Dave ...have you finished the picture yet?????

Been out tonight and fitted back up the dash bits, carpet, properly fitted the front seats and cleaned up the headliner! Apart from a stereo, I think the interior's finished!... well, for now!


I was nice to see Rach sat in it... She seemed sooooo happy with it!

Top work fella!!

Rach doesn't seem to like metalflake as much as we do!



PMSL .....Eerrrrm... It's coming together... But more matalflake wouldn't hurt!!!

Metal flake pink

I could show her the way............donate one thing that she wouldn't mind me ruining....and I'll metal flake it for her ......all VW's should have a little bit of nomates in them .........by the way when u gonna stripe the bus dude!!
