My Aussie CKD bug. 1967. 1 owner in Australia before she was imported. And other than the importer, 1 previous UK owner before me. Arrived looking a bit sorry for herself around 10 years ago
How shes looks now. Ive completely redone the interior and recently had a full engine rebuild taking her from a 1641 to 1776
Cheers guys. Engine is a work in progress. Bought a new set of weber 40s for it as the old ones didn't cut the mustard Got the first 100 miles on it. Just removed the fuel tank to flush it, replace tank outlet to fuel pump and tidy it up Polished the top original paint and rubbed back and wired brushed etc the underneath. Few coats of hammerite to do on the bottom
Fuel tank now flushed and new fuel filter and tube fitted. Plus a good coat of hammerite to protect it. Left the top in original paint
Nice bug. Do you find it noisey without any firewall covering? I'm in two minds whether to replace mine or leave it off when my upgraded engine goes back in my bug.
It's a 1776 with twin 40s and full stainless exhaust with j tubes .......so never going to be quiet. Got sound proofing inside bug.
I've got silentcoat soundproofing inside ,running a vintage speed super flow with 36s. Think I will do without and see.
