I have just completed my first restro on a 74 Superbug. I thought I would post some pics and show you the progress. When I got her she was partly stripped and the mechanicials unknown, first project was to start the engine, no fuel pump or carbie and the distributor was missing. I rounded up a few parts and got it going, the engine seeemed pretty solid. I pulled it down and gave it a gasket set and new seals and pushrod tubes. the body had a couple of minor bits of rust but an easy repairer. I had such a good time doing the super bug I have started another restro, this time on an Oval. Great fun car to work with.
hope you enjoy the pics
