Thanks for updating the thread Pete!
He's in the process of becoming legal. No idea when he'll be on the road, but taking the first steps

It's nice to know my bug is still floating around and has been given the rebuild I couldn't afford (the principal reason I sold her, and yes it was
heartbreaking). Sorry to whoever had to clean up the generally messy work we threw together, she was never meant to pass a legit rego inspection
haha.. Still amazed I drove her for 2 years without being pulled over (suicides, no mirrors, locks, handles, front plate or indicators, I even scraped
out in front of a patrol car once and they just laughed!).
Stay cool

Hey Tim (or however is posting on your behalf?)
I hate to put this out there, but unless there's been some SERIOUS refab done a lot of the specs in the ad posted before are inaccurate e.g. beam
wasn't shortened and it's a '64 top and bottom (although to save a blue slip inspection I just rego'd it as my previous 67). I haven't spoken to
any of the owners since Ryan though so anything could've happened. If you've cleaned her up for a hard core road-worthy, inc redoing the suicides,
then big props to you, will be fantastic to see BUGGIN rollin legit.
Lemme know if you want some shots of the original build
