My 61 Bug Resto
Well i finally have pictures!!!
This is my project a 1961 bug
Pretty poor condition at the moment, but i have plans :P
Im planning on a nice 1600tp to replace the 1200
Going to try and keep the body and interior as orginal as
possible, but you know how sometimes you have to be
different.. :P (thats my reasoning anyway hehe)
Anyways here are the pics
P.S. also plan to lower it a bit as well, also i don't like the
camber this car has got, is it wise to adjust it?
Please leave any comments

Alrite, Time for an UPDATE!!!!
Decided to stop being lazy and get to work lol.
Ok i have removed the front beam, taken the engine out (spent nearly an hour and a half looking for top mounting bolts to discover it didnt have any),
removed front bumper, indicators, guards, side runners and all the trim.

i didnt realise it at the time but thats probably an engine out of splitty panel van
the mystery pllate on the carb is the rev limiter governer thingy that were fitted to most fleet splittys to stop employees reving the tits off
them
wouldnt be the first motor ive come across only held in with a few of the bolts
