Uncle Craig - January 14th, 2011 at 09:51 AM

Hi to all veedub lovers. Thought I'd share pick's of our beloved 71 super bug we have been doing over the last 18 or so months. We bought as a painted roller and have done every thing that opened and turned. Motor is absolutely brand spanker. Its a new bubble top empi case, 1914/15/16cc, 94mm, To be diplomatic....new molly counter weight crank, Big sump, Oil filter oil pump, Moly push rods and 1:25 ratio rockers (give's 1/2'' lift) eagle 110 cam, mofoco 050 heads, twin 40mm dlra Dellortos, Serpitine belt kit, Lightened 8 dowel flywheel, new cables ,clips and bits. Electronic dizzy with rev limiter. New interia, new BRM's, god i could write a list and a half. not one used part...... cost? I dare not think. I hope you like and would love to hear what you think and what you all thinks is worth.... Not that i am thinking of selling. Well, see you all at the TeaTree Gully show. regards Craig/ Bryce
Have lots of photos but I cant work out how to add more than 3. Maybe some one could open the blinds for me and let the sun shine in. cheers!

Craig

first - love Supers
I have a 1975 L bug

As for pictures - you are limited to 3 pictures per reply

To get the next 3 - you need to clicj "new reply" down the bottom right corner
NOT the "quick reply" square at the bottom

Other wise - start up a photobucket account

BTW - what colour is it??

PS - dont think about cost
It always costs more to built what you want rather than buy some one elses efforts

Gday Barry, Thanks for the hint on loading more picks. Its Advocardo green if that means anything. It is the original color. Its in two pac now.
ps. Must try to work out your latin quote. The car will be my sons first rocket. Kinda got out of hand on the rebuild. Arh well, never mind. Also got a 66 Square thats waiting for paint and trim for son number 2. Twin boys. Well keeping the VW mojo alive. They love them. Cheers.Craig

As for the latin - I got a book on how to swear in latin. Brilliant

Google " Futue te ipsum "

Gives you a feeling of the book :D

Sweet looken Super Barry, was going to get some of the V force wheels early but Richard didnt have any in stock. The BRM's a problematic with the offset only being 15.......... Has rubbed on the front gaurds a bit. I will have to slightly roll the gaurds or get skinny tires. Either way I think I am up for a little bit of paint work. Cheers Craig.

"or get skinny tires"

Dont you dare :smilegrin:

I wonder......:spin:


SuperOwen - February 4th, 2011 at 11:53 AM

Turbo!!


Uncle Craig - February 4th, 2011 at 01:25 PM

Yeah! what the hell. I have a quote in at VW Parts and they are really fair on freight to Australia.
http://www.vwparts.net/CBPARTS.html 
These guys will buy-in CB performance parts special order for me. HAve used quite a bit over the years.
Think I'll go for the small s2a as its only a weekend cruiser. Just to have that little bit of sting.
Not going to drag or race her so should be a bit of fun. Can always pull it off and sell it I am sure.
regards Craig

he who dies with the most toys, WINS. and lets face it. If it does'nt scare you a bit, what's the point!
