purchased her in desember last year. all in mint condition. i just had the previous black rims sprayd to sparkling silver and bigger tires fitted to rear.
It has a stock 1600 twinport motor. starting the single 36 carb convertion with electronic distributor. So it should run alot better.

looks good, wheels especially

Is that a fuel filter I see in your engine bay? If it is, move it to where it belongs!! Thats next to the gearbox, not in the engine bay.

Tony want you to get rid of the one next to the sparky dizzie. It causes fires. The fuel line from the filter next to the gearbox all the way to the pump should be one piece. Tony has a thing about fuel filters in the engine bay, just like I have a thing about Variant Notchbacks. But he has a reason, I, on the other hand, am just pedantic.

Are you going to join the Beach Buggy Club SA?
