Title: Hello from BugBusBuggy....
Post by: BugBusBuggy on August 21, 2018, 14:07:20 pm
Well, I thought my first post should really be an introduction!
I'm Dave, aka BugBusBuggy, and despite the name, I only have the bug left. I used to own a '73 UK Manx and a '72 Devon T2, but these have gone on to new homes, leaving me with the Bug.
She started life as a Chinchilla grey 1200 basic back in '68. I've owned her for the last 27 years (yes, 27 years!) or so, and I'd known the car about 6 years before that. She was my first car, and daily driver for about 6 years, but she's been on and off the road for a fair chunk of the last 20 years as a resto company that had her went bust and I was lucky to get her back, albeit in bits, and life kind of got in the way, but she's now back on the road (MOT passed last week) as a rolling resto as I finish off interior and some bodywork.
She's now looking more '67 than '68, with '67 front and rear bodywork and doors... still in Chinchilla grey, got a 2276 with twin Dell 48s, so she's pretty nippy when the mood takes, stock height rear, a set of sprintstars and a 2" narrowed front, lowered to give that 'head down' stance. Hopefully, 'cal-look' enough for this place....I'll post up some pics when I can, but in the meanwhile, it's a 'hello' from me.

Welcome Dave. From the description of the car, was it you that bought my ignition system? Rich

Hi Rich,
Yes, that was me. It's all on the car and working a treat! Just off into the garage to make a start on fitting a new header and the bumpers I also got off you.
Hope you're well!
Dave.
