nice!........always nice to keep things at the same level, ie drive line, brakes, interior, paint..sometimes certain aspects get left behind as we persue others, so congrats on the update!

looks very nice Jak. I like the new colour. Plus now you can re embarrass all the ricers in "that grey bug that sounded heaps like the purple one"

nice, though i think id have to see it again in person to get a better idea of it, looks different from a few angles, if i had to pick though, make the wheels shinier or the bumpers etc darker, the rear looks out of place in that pic cos its the only shiny thing there.... but the front suits perfectly, now im torn, looking good though!

on a slightly unrelated note though, what size is that hole in your guard, i think i asked previously but cant remember 🙂

the important question is... is it now too pretty to race in may?

Looks much better in the grey Jak.
And the seats look the part as well.

Do me a favour though, either paint the rear calipers red, or paint the fronts black😉

Cheers

I reckon you need some carbon fiber headlight trims and bumpers, other than that, you've made a great car that my 1302S idolizes even better.

Nice one Jak. A change is as good as a holiday, although I thought you would have painted it Subi Blue. 😉

Hi Jak,

How about we do an oval conversion?

Don't worry. I'll come up to your place with some sandpaper. We'll rub it back to purple again.

No wait start again. I'll give you $3,000 for it.

CT, U can have the car for $1300 without the conversion, or $3800 with the conversion, thats what it owes me.

if it wasn't a Superbug it would be worth more.

Gday Jak,looks great. Must admit never been a fan of Gunmetal Grey, probably because it was the preferred colour of Holden restos in the late 80s early 90s, but it suits your Bug brilliantly.

Too right, I spend a lot of time on the road and I have promised myself I will never own a grey or light blue car, just too damned hard to see.😬

I've told my son about your car john & showed him all the pics, he's almost 10 years old.

He's hoping to see it run on a track in his lifetime.

So am I actually!

What has been around longer, the build up of his racecar or the "for sale" advertisement of his R32 Golf ?😂

Love the seats too Jak.
