Thought it was time for another small update. Bug is now safely back at home for winter whilst the front end is being finished by Jim. Meanwhile Ian at Wolfsburg Performance has been busy with the longblock. To say I am pleased is an understatement................  Barrells, pistons and heads ready for fitting....   Lots of work done.....  Now ready for tinware......... More soon  |

Well it's been a long while since I last posted anything but a quick update.............. The engine is now in and running and she has her first M.O.T in 10 years!!!  I'll be picking her up in the next couple of weeks and then its interior time!!  |

Got the bug back from Ian Clark at Wolfsburg Performance Servives today and drove her for the first time in 10 years!! It was epic! Its off for the interior in just over a week then a few more bits at Cotsweld Racecars with Jim Smith before the VolksWorld show Thought i'd add a small pic of how she looks...........   |

The quality of this build is just outstanding!
Man it must have had a lot of time and nerves to get there. It would be nice to see this in live 'cause of course you don't get the full experience via photos.

Hi Rob, I did indeed have a hardtop off you and very nice it was too! My wife wants a buggy again when the Bug is finished so may have another top from you! Cheers Paul. how much is the beam narrowed? very cool car Thanks, it's been narrowed by 6 inches although doesn't look that narrow due to the added width of discs and offset of the wheels. |

Have just spent the weekend at this years VolksWorld show which was totally manic but a lot of fun!! Got there on the Friday and spent most of the day polishing and waxing ready for her show debut..........  During the show Neil Melliard from Prosign painted 'On' and 'Off' under the cut off switch having already done the wing beading the week before on the flip front .......   And then for me the icing on the cake that blew me away........  Massive thank you to everyone involved in my car! Now it's time to go racing!!! |
