Title: Miss Bug-in's Bug
Post by: RobtheManx on November 08, 2011, 17:15:28 pm
Hi Everyone

Now I always promised my wife ( who was Miss Euro Bug-in this year ) that when I had finished Ned Bug , I would finish her Bug . She has owned it for about 12 years its a 1972 1200, her Dad started the restoration soon after , but it was never completed . Louisa is going to dig out some old photos from when she got it , it was a rather fetching shade of pink !
All the welding on one side of the body had been done , I had to weld the other side , channels and the surrounding panels .
5 or 6 years ago I bought Louisa some 14 inch JP wheels for christmas , so these will finally get used .
  Everything is being done on a major budget , interior will be stock except for a grant wheel, body prep and paint will be done by a mate in exchange for a buggy body , The motor is my 1776 donated by my buggy . The tyres are the bit I really love , the rears are Good Year Custom power cushions which I've had for years , the fronts are new Pirelli Cinturatos and look the nuts . Here are some pics
