I bought it from a workmate who put some tyres and rego on it after it had been sitting under another blokes car port for almost 20yrs.
Its a '74 1300 on 15inch fuchs and a pobjoy engine in it, not really sure what size though its been hard trying to find those details.
Its great as a daily and Im slowly making it a bit more tidy.
It'll keep me busy for a while! I'll put some photos up later in the week.

ah i lost the internet for a while and still havent taken any photos!

There seems to be no major rust, only some surface scattered over the body, the worst being in the roof gutter.

First on the cards is to get it driving nice and then a full respray.

I also want to restore the wheels. At the moment i have 15x6's all round. i put a post in parts wanted looking to swap the front ones for something skinnier.

Im also after a rear left guard because mine is dented beyond repair.

Hey Shane - good to see new fans and owners of the bug. Sounds like you got in on a sweet ride. Enjoy it mate (and by the way careful of the modding -it is addictive!)😂

If it's a Pobjoy motor then there's a fair chance it's a 1916. Pop up some pics when you can.
