Superbug or not?
Hi all,
So, bought my first bug. Maybe not the best bug I could have got, but still I am happy and I am sure there shall be plenty of enjoyment.
Anyway, I am a little confused. On the rego it is listed as a Superbug, but I was under the understanding that the Superbug was 71 and later, had
Macpherson Struts and the spare tired was in a near horizontal position.
This bug while now having a custom kit and such on it, is a 7/70 model, has an upright spare and no Macpherson struts. Maybe it is a real mongrel
after all...lol
Cheers...

Sounds to me it's a standard bug with front end ball joints same as mine with rear swing axles

Thanks Joel,
Yes it is that one, and I think you are right. Not a super and no longer a 1500 either. It has a reconned 1600 in it. If I get my way parts of the
careera kit will be going too. Not going classic, but not keeping it that way either.
