Rat Bug.... Project for another day

Post by DDunc »

Check this bug out
I inherited it from an uncle, it's been standing outside for a few years hence the ratty appearance
Its got widened rims
Disks on the front with ball joint suspension
Lowered front suspension
Anti roll bars on back and front
A full set of VDO oil pressure temperature rpm gauges

So my plan for this one (after i've finished the sunroof bug) is to fix up the mechanics and drive it just like it is!! :hangloose:

Oh and it lacks 1x engine and 1x rear left fender and 1 x engine lid, but i've plenty of parts to build an engine up...

If it's too low, you're too old :twisted:

those are watercooled cylinder heads.....
i've got to give them back, they from another engine included with a pile of engine parts, not part of the package..
but i do have a pair of twin port cylinder heads i'm not using, they need new guides and seats and valves though
