My 1970 bubblegum
The family went to the mother city and they came across a guy selling this beauty. The whole family had fallen in love with her...see that silver bmw it kept up with it up the windy bends too fish on the rocks...so this is my pride and joy that we saved...its a stock 1970 1600 single port with very minor work done. Original interior... woohooo 3 years later woth little resto work done we changed door skins bonnet n knocked dents out the fenders and rust sorted by battery (very common you guys know)after that my grease monkey garage brother n i dropped it cleaned it up and added a zenon light kit...we still working on improving it. We have another project will keep u buggers updated

Re: My 1970 bubblegum
Have been quiet for awhile now busy helping my brother start up his customising garage we needed a few changes so my bubblegum now known as letty to be hip with the current fashion and to blend in with the company we widened the rear rims and did tyre lettering just some of the cool customs that can be done @simplicity customs jhb...next mission air ride its what we do
