Hi Guys,
I spent a year on & off getting this buggy to roadworthy condition & rego for the road.It is going to be a long term project in which i have been working on all the mechanics and will recondition the body later.I drive it to work as much as i can(weather permitting,no roof yet.)This forum is great as we can share info between each other,as when i started i spent a lot time emailing & talking to Bill Moore on the phone, who i cant thank enough for his time and knowledge.
Hi Craig,
There are quite a few dents and scratches in the body & the floor that the photos dont show.Maybe in a year or two i will dismantle it like you are doing and repaint it but in the meanwhile i am having too much fun running around in it.

Hey, that's me in the VW shirt! That was at dubs by the pub, it was obviously a serious conversation I was having based on the expression on my face. This buggy was a really good example, and Craig is a nice bloke. I had a chat to him about my CB resto in the making.
I read the text and was scrolling down and when I saw the pink photo I thought - geez he drives that to work.. it took a few secs before I kept scrolling and was instantly relieved.
Mate - looks good - nice and simple heh.
My buggy is stored in the Gabba if ever you wanna pop past for a visit.
Mike - how about some progress shots, of does it look the same as when it rolled off the trailer. I know you had a few other projects ahead of it. Like mum used to say - you cant just watch all the time... 😂

Hi Robert,
No i didnt get to see the Courier Mail but maby i should have.
We should go on a buggy run soon but it will have to be on a Sunday as i work on Saturday and the weather will be another factor.
Now that i have put photos on the forum it will be nice to see some photos of yours?
Regards Craig.
Rob,
Thanks for fixing the link to your pics.
Works fine now, even over the curvature of the earth, from here in the US!
That is a great looking CB you have. 👍
Would love to see more pics......details and different angle shots.
Start your own CB thread and include all the specifics.
Tell us about the paint job.......looks like a beach camo job to me. 😂
The soft top and side curtains are primo looking too.
Since I assume the soft top and side curtains aren't OEM VW items, where did you have them done.....who fabricated them?
They did a super job!
👍
