Hi everyone,

I've just logged in again for the first time in a few years.
still got my mustard yelow '73 superbug.
Haven't one anything cosmetic on it but have been getting a few mechanical things done as I have the money. Unfortunately miney is kinda non existent at the moment as I decided to take up photography in a really serious way and all my money has been going on camera gear, as well as not making as much as I used to due to part time work for the last few years!

Anyway, I will try and be round abit more often...I wan't to soak up all the excellent knowledge and tips everyone had out there!

I'll post some just as soon as I can. I actually don't have any pics of it and it is at the mechanics at the moment.

I love seeing good photo's.

I just spoke to my mechanic. My car is ready to be picked up and he said it is running very nicely now. so 7:30 tomorrow I'll be there, key in hand 😂
I'm very excited cos it's been off the road for nearly 4 months cos it had a fuel leak and I didn't have the funds to get evrything fixed on it that needed to be done and then I was just lazy...only problem is that I won't be able to drive it till monday when I get my greenslip and rego done...
I'll be like a pig in poop once that purple rego sticker is stuck on that windscreen!

I've replaced the driving lights and bumper bars since those pics were taken but haven't really done anything else to it cosmetically.
i'm still planning on dropping the front about 2 inches. (I know I was thinking about doing that 4 years ago but I ran out of money and it was a want rather than a need! now my mechanic has told me the shocks need to be replaced so i may as well drop it at the same time, just not sure about how much it is likely to cost and if I have the $$ to cover it ❓

anyone got any advice?

I bet ya carn't wait till Lexi is back carrying you araound again ! Monday not that far away !!

got Lexi back from the mechanic yesterday. She purrs like a little kitty now!
got some new tyres and today gave her a quick wash - 4 months of sitting under a tree made her pretty grubby!
