Here she is. This is my '68er, known simply as "Baby". I took these pics back in late 2000. Currently she's off the road while my Dad and I give her a new paint job, interior retrim and shove a 1916cc low comp mo in there.

She's been off the road since around March last year and I'm really getting itchy to drive her again. Hopefully she'll be back on the road early next year (it's kind of embarrasing driving into the nationals in a Daihatsu :p )

great bugs guys. Here is a pic of my 68 another white one. I am also running a 1916 with twin 40mm kadrons. Cray have you got electronic ignition? Is it worth it? If you need a hand with anything I am not far away just drop me a line 0417254354.

Nice bug Cray. :thumb

I've also got a '68 and I have to admit, I kinda like them.
