hey guys

i just joined up to the site today and i thought i'd introduce you to my little buggy!! :D

She's a 1973 Model..with not much work done as yet! Just the paint, rims (yes they're matching) and there's a cd player etc in there too!!

Future plans include a EJ 22 conversion, slammed on her bum...with some bling wheels...and a nice new paint job..still trying to figure out the color i want though!! so as u can see this is going to be a long process as money is how its gotta start...and atm i'm lacking in that department!! :P

but here she is i hope you like it...please post up comments etc.

peace
deedee

Plenty of people on here have experience in these sorts of conversions, so you'll find plenty of information on here when you start searching. Ask lots of questions too....that's the easiest way to get the info you're after.

VERY nice

Love the curved screens!!

thanks for the heads up...my parents live @ Stafford...and i usually take 'Miss Purple' down to the boys at Custom Off Road when she breaks!!

So i'm hoping that they can do the conversion becuase they're work is always top quality and they're great ppl!! :thumb

None with the Manx.You might shred some rear tyres on a beetle though!!! The Kombi slips sideways in 2nd no problems with standard wheels so a bug would drift OK!!:bounce:bounce The donks are bulletproof..


bond - May 23rd, 2006 at 03:02 PM

custom offroad bite knob.. haha naa just playing - def the boys to see in bris for subie conv...

i thought i had seen this possibly at uni? uq?

should come to harry's diner on a friday night - we need more dubs there - actually ill post a thread in chit chat

nick

ps - some really funky shots! love it


bubblez - May 23rd, 2006 at 03:15 PM

it wouldnt suprise me if u'd seen her before...she gets around alot....i go from southside to northside for work everyday...so you quite possibly might of!!

I dont think she's harry's standards at the moment...

The accelarator cable snapped last night so she's gotta go in and get fixed...and the dude from RACQ that towed us smashed my rear bar and bent the body a bit...wen taking it off the truck (that wouldnt of happened if he listened to me :cussing ) but wat can u do!!

i didnt think that there were many dubs that went to Harry's on a Friday night???


bond - May 23rd, 2006 at 03:21 PM

im there most friday nights - it dont matter what condition the bugs in - looks nice to me :)

we havnt had a big doo at harry's for ages - last one i can remember was close to 2yr ago haha

have posted a thread in gen chit chat

nick

oh im just at wilston - so yeah chances are ive seen you round


PrettyBlueBug - May 23rd, 2006 at 03:22 PM

I had a towtruck dude that didn't believe my Bug was very low when he was getting it on the truck once after a break down... then my exhaust scraped and I said he can fix it if he stuffs it up more, so he backed it off and put wooden planks down that they keep on the truck anyway. :P

Remember that for next time, not that we want you to have a towie again... ;)


bubblez - May 23rd, 2006 at 03:58 PM

prob like 3wks ago we took the exhaust tips off coz they were too long...so we were going to shorten them and weld them back on...we just havent had time lately so lucky for that other wise he would of completely totalled my back end!!

tow trucks suck!! they always seem to damage ppls cars hey!!


hipichic - May 23rd, 2006 at 07:32 PM
