well I cant believe how easy all the rust came off the mags. A day of polishing the bug mainly and with just a few tiny jobs to do she is pretty well roadworthy. Now what to name her?

'The Superbug' sounds like a good name to me. My two cars are named 'the Golf' and 'the Kombi'.
But it's looking great!

had to sell the Bugh :-(
I recently sold my 71 Superbug to a young guy who is gonna finish customising it with his brother. Owner prior to me had already fitted wide guards, later model boot with more air vents, porsche instruments and centre consule and 8inch wheels with chrome mags. So was a lot to bring back to standard anyway. And I invested in a Cranky kit for better starting.
With mods done it meant a lot of stuff they dont need to buy.
I was pretty sad to see it go, but Gan never wanted it anyway and i did ask if they would send me progress reports.
Never thought they would TBH
BUT... They have been.
They removed foot boards, guards and engine and are at the prep stage of doing the respray in a dark blue. Also going for some body front and rear dress up parts. So respray will wait for these to arrive.
Whilst engine was out they replaced clutch (not that was needed but easier to replace with new whilst out) and have purchased a dress up kit.
The rust is to say the least minimal as i had said but good to know they never found any nasty shocks.
Here is engine before and after
Will add pics as I get them
Really pleased Bug went to a good home.
They mentioned they will be lowering it. I tried to talk them out of this but we will see i guess
