Project Thread: Milly the 69 Bug

[free70]

Hi

Im in the process of stripping my 69 bug at the mo.

As I am not entirely sure what I am going to do with her, thought it would be a good idea to start a project/build thread and get some ideas from the club ;D

Pictures below show the poor girl now......









Shes in ok condition - floors and heater channels are good but there is rust in the bonnet and doors. Also got a really dodgy dash where its been repaired really badly.

I havent got the time or cash for a full resto and want to get it finished over the winter. At the moment the plan is to take her back to stock and make it a lot lower but I am open to ideas.....

So what ya reckon?

Wheel ideas? Paint maybe?

Will update thread as I work progresses

Nice looking bug u got there!!!

[Toughjeans]

[free70]

hi guys

She is a nice bug and Im really attached to her - but the pics perhaps are flattering a bit....

I really like the colour and paint doesn't look too bad considering that its been on nearly 10 years so yer she will stay Red for sure.

[Duffy]

Front end and suspension off next ready for some narrowing and dropped spindles ;D and weld a new front clip on.

Im flogging some bits that came from this bug so if your interested see the For Sale thread. Wheels, front seats, bumpers etc.

Hopefully see you all at the meet on Tuesday
