THE BUG!
figured it was about time to start a build thread for my bug considering the major surgery is beginning / has begun, i shall start with WE HAVE
LIFTOFF!!!! the body and pan are now divorced, well except the front is hanging on somehow and it looks like a big trapeze act cos its hung from the
HUGE beams above it, yes they can take the weight im sure, wish i had a cam now, would make this more interesting to see, either way PICS COMING
SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!! once i get a digi cam anyway, will be to late to show you the before the surgery shots tho unfortunately, will keep you posted as it
progresses

UPDATE : body is now suspended from the roof like a novelty sized beetle shaped swing, maybe i should just leave it there and use it as a swing.....
or not very happy now, yay for me, now gota move the pan out from under it, put it on one side of the garage the body hanging from he roof from the
other then strip them both, oh yeah has anyone used the rustbullet stuff yet or am i probably going to be the first?

mighty useful, but nothing a few ratchet straps and a little enginuity dosent fix, so yeah they are moth on the grond, about to take the pan out the
front and strip it, then its onto the body cos by the time ive finished i will have my mig so yeah damn the front end of the body and pan are BLOODY
