Love them L Bugs!!!!
Is it going back as a stocker or do you have other plans????
Mine is now red and i gotta say o love em in that colour.
Has it been dechromed or hasnt it gone back on yet
The R&P's were a good evolution
What colour is that going to be?
You really stripped back the 74L - wiring loom and the lot out
More pics please
Looks great! :thumb

Yeah it has been taken down to nothing. body engine, everything has been undone, repaired and now just needs to be put back together. The wiring loom
came out cause we got the basic shell from the wreckers (the original shell was in an unrepairable state) and it didnt have a wiring loom. The shell
was taken back to bare metal and all imperfections taken out before being painted by a smash repairs shop at mates rates. The engine has been completly taken apart to nothing and rebuilt and
restored. This bug is funded by my dad and he wants it kept all standard...would love some empi's ofcourse but thats about it. My dad has always
wanted one of these bugs since he was a kid. Next time i take some pictures i will have to take it when its not in the shade..doesnt give it justice.
Will be posting more pics...and aventually i will be making a video showings its progress when it is finished:bounce

..oh and yeah the 75L.....think it is going to be yellow. Lots of work ahead for that one. The front was banged in and it currently has another front
welded on (hence why it is currently two colours) The 75 scores cause it was the only bug (that i know of anyways) to have R&P steering and it was
the last to have a curved windscreen. Also was the first to have its indicators on the bumper..nightmare to get parts for though...if anyones got some
for a 75 would be appriciated

A lesbian dinasaur who keeps on falling on her arse?
How about Amanda*?
*please note Amanda is a total fictional character that popped into my bed and does not have any relevance what so ever to any one else with that name
even if you are a lesbian dinasaur who falls on her arse alot.

DUDE!!! There's my car! ...It is very similar anyways. What colour is yours? Ours is Sting Red or more commonly known as "Manaro Red".
We have also painted our bumpers and have decided to move the indicators to the bumpers too. We are on the westside of the city. Would love to see
yours.
