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.
Craig.😎

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... 😂

Hey Craig,
Great to see the photos.
Did you see the ad in Saturday's Courier Mail for what as was described as a VW Country? I meant to ring and forgot.
When are we going for Brisbane CB run?
regards
Robert

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.
Worked for me, what a finely proportioned machine. I'd compare a CB to a DB9, not quiet as fast but better looking!🤓

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!
