My Black bug

[allybrown]

Hey,

well i think it is time to start on my bug. Joe's progress has inspired me to pull my finger out so hopefully in a week and a bit's time i will have some movement!!

here is my bug for people who haven't seen it before - or can't remember it - www.flickr.com/photos/allybrown/sets/72157600310107851/

It has had a body off restoration, all looking very solid and looks like they did a good job. However, they painted it - bought all the parts and then gave up!

So i bought it in it's completely stripped (but body on) condition and now i just have to put it back together.

Points that will annoy me:
single window conversion : silicon is basically holding the window in place now and the rubbers are useless.

the electrics were completely stipped and a custom wiring loom has been made, but without any connections or indication of where anything goes. However, i'm quite confident that i'll be able to sort that out.

Missing parts! it all looks complete, but i know i'm going to get to a crucial part where i'm missing something simple, which will hold up my day and result in a trip to gsf.

apart from that i'm sure i'll have fun and i'll post up pics as i make progress.

cheers
ally
