Hi Guys,
I spent a year on & off getting this buggy to roadworthy condition & rego for the road.It is going to be a long term project in which i have
been working on all the mechanics and will recondition the body later.I drive it to work as much as i can(weather permitting,no roof yet.)This forum
is great as we can share info between each other,as when i started i spent a lot time emailing & talking to Bill Moore on the phone, who i cant
thank enough for his time and knowledge.

geez the bodywork looks fine as it is !!
Hi Craig,
There are quite a few dents and scratches in the body & the floor that the photos dont show.Maybe in a year or two i will dismantle it like you
are doing and repaint it but in the meanwhile i am having too much fun running around in it.

Hey, that's me in the VW shirt! That was at dubs by the pub, it was obviously a serious conversation I was having based on the expression on my face. This buggy was a really good example, and Craig is a nice bloke. I had a chat to him about my CB resto in the making.
I'll try to blank out your face next time I take a pic Mike.........
I read the text and was scrolling down and when I saw the pink photo I thought - geez he drives that to work.. it took a few secs before I kept
scrolling and was instantly relieved.
Mate - looks good - nice and simple heh.
My buggy is stored in the Gabba if ever you wanna pop past for a visit.
Mike - how about some progress shots, of does it look the same as when it rolled off the trailer. I know you had a few other projects ahead of it.
Like mum used to say - you cant just watch all the time...

Man these CB's are coming out of the woodwork!!! or maybe it's the bush!!!
Great job on the engine!
Regards,
Steve
p.s. you missed an image tag on your first pic.
Hi Peter,
I would like to pop in and have a look at the buggy,so send your phone no. or adress and i will get in contact.
Craig
Hey Craig,
Great to see the photos.
Did you see the ad in Saturday's Courier Mail for what as was described as a VW Country? I meant to ring and forgot.
When are we going for Brisbane CB run?
regards
Robert
Hi Robert,
No i didnt get to see the Courier Mail but maby i should have.
We should go on a buggy run soon but it will have to be on a Sunday as i work on Saturday and the weather will be another factor.
Now that i have put photos on the forum it will be nice to see some photos of yours?
Regards Craig.
Morning Craig,
I already had a while ago.
Here is a link. http://www.clubaudiqld.org/gallery.html - link fixed
(sorry)
Just scroll down!

I get an error message for the given link:
The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded
Worked for me, what a finely proportioned machine. I'd compare a CB to a DB9, not quiet as fast but better looking!
Rob,
Thanks for fixing the link to your pics.
Works fine now, even over the curvature of the earth, from here in the US!
That is a great looking CB you have.
Would love to see more pics......details and different angle shots.
Start your own CB thread and include all the specifics.
Tell us about the paint job.......looks like a beach camo job to me.
The soft top and side curtains are primo looking too.
Since I assume the soft top and side curtains aren't OEM VW items, where did you have them done.....who fabricated them?
They did a super job!
