whatever you wish to call me!
i'm 18 years old and live in south east suburbs of melbourne.
My sister owns a 1975 superbug which has been rebuilt from the ground up about 5 or 6 years ago now.
The only thing left from the original chassis is the trans tunnel 😂
The only thing we didn't fix was the horrible body.
as she didn't have the funds or time to do it as you all probably know bodywork is a very long and extensive, never mind expensive part of building a car.
It just so happens I'm an apprentice spray painter (2nd year)
and she's going over to bali for 3 weeks so i'm ripping apart the car replacing a few things and respraying it.
Joined up here to try and source a few parts aswell as get advice and check out some buggy projects.
I'm trying to convince my sister to get rid of her motor and put in an ej20 from a subaru impreza but shes to much of a purist for such sacrilege 😂
so...who has a spare bonnet and front fenders for a 1975 superbug :P
I'll put up and a few photos tomorrow and make a thread in the next week or so when the build really kicks off.
I'm hoping anybody out there into amateur panel beating/spray painting will get something out of it!!!
