My Ragtop. HERBIE CHARITY GALA.

Hello folks, chrisdebug reporting from Singapore... After some 9 mths in the making, my ragtop has finally come out of the workshop. As expected the process was painful and frustrating (on the pocket too!), but it's def satisfying to see the end results. It's actually a 70 rego, but I've changed the fenders, lights, seats, rims etc. to make it look closer to an early 60s model. Also added A/C for the tropical weather here. An interesting bit of the bug: the rag top section is from one of the cars in the new HERBIE movie. BFY in the USA got hold of 4 of the cars after the movie ended and was selling the clips for a cutthroat price of US$500.00 each. I guess they knew being close to the airport, they could help you save the inland transport cost, hence killer prices (B**TARDS). Anyway hope you guys like the results. Special thanks to Dasdubber for advice on the rag section. Cheers mate: yr bug is scarily beautiful.nn[ Edited on 15-8-2005 by chrisdebug ]nn[ Edited on 21-8-2005 by chrisdebug ]
