My Hoodride Country Buggy

Ive had the body for a few years now but had never got around to doing anything with it, So with no project in the shed I thought now would be a
perfect time to start on it.

Most removable parts were sandblasted and painted in 2pak satin black, and everything was put back together with stainless fasteners where possible.
The front beam is adjustable and the rear has been lowered a few splines, the wheels and hubcaps were powder coated and wear 145/65's at the front
and 165's at the back.

One word-Excellent-I don't think I have seen that done to one B4-trend setter.I remember seeing a Kubel that had been dropped in the weeds by a Yank
and thought that was good,but yours wins.Another thing that could be done to one, lift it sky high with tall tyres,so you would need a ladder to get
on board-but wouldn't have the cool factor like yours though.
