  1. anybody remember the 69 bug i brought a month ago for £125? well here she is!
    Meet Fifi, (named my the wife and kids), I couldn't leave it sitting there looking sad for it's self so i attacked it with a cutter and a welder and here we are. Its had a new front valance, bonnet, rear valance and various plates put in along the bottom of the body, door pillars and front footwell / heater channels. Its all filled and flatted ready for a few coats or rustoleum, thought i'd give it a go as im not massively fussed about the finish, just want it looking respectable for the wife to drive around in.
    Here's a couple of pics
