Time for a quick update -

After almost three years the chassis is now back on its wheels so I thought I'd post up a couple of before and after photos.


BEFORE






AFTER





And one of me with a satisfied grin.




Going to fit the brake lines, Hand brake and pedals this afternoon.

Thanks for looking in

Hi there MR X I think theres a compliment in there somewhere The years have not been so good to me, perhaps I should have spent my money on getting myself restored instead of the bug

And yep its almost three years. I bought the bug October 2007
