74 Superbug rebuild - the finished product
I have just completed my first restro on a 74 Superbug. I thought I would post some pics and show you the progress. When I got her she was partly
stripped and the mechanicials unknown, first project was to start the engine, no fuel pump or carbie and the distributor was missing. I rounded up a
few parts and got it going, the engine seeemed pretty solid. I pulled it down and gave it a gasket set and new seals and pushrod tubes. the body had a
couple of minor bits of rust but an easy repairer. I had such a good time doing the super bug I have started another restro, this time on an Oval.
Great fun car to work with.
hope you enjoy the pics
1st is how I bought it, partly stripped with a few boxes of parts
then she was stripped the brakes and suspension got an overhaul and then out with the sound deadener
the dash was removed and sent away for a rebuild
The engine was stripped and regasketted and a coat of paint
