Bug's back home !

Post by alants »

Got Bug back from Dave at FFR would did an excellent job of re-wiring and sorting out an engine problem for me. I decided to re-do her upholstery which was delivered last Sunday so this is how she now looks with her summer top on - ready to cruise the beaches. She will go back to Dave for a new gearbox mounting shortly. The wiring job Dave did was exceptional :hangloose:

Awesome, never been a bug fan, since joining the forum, I gotta bug itch. Fortunately one of the guys that work for me is doing up a beamish, which is coming on very well, so will live out my itch thru his bug. Sold his first bug body to someone in the Strand....anyone on the forum buy it?
