Thank you for the welcome. Having read around the forum it seems like a friendly place! I've messed with bugs before - small scale - and really fancied doing a full (ish) restoration on this one. I got it as a project - have always wanted to restore a bug (no idea why..) The previous owner had already started stripping stuff out, then obviously reattached (but not reconnected) bits to sell the car! By the time I sort the floor pan, re-connect the electrics, deal with the windows that don't really work and the door locks that don't lock, re-commission an engine that's been sitting for 5+ years, I'll have done so much that I might as well do a full resto! The stuff I don't fancy doing myself is floor pan welding (my welding experience is non-existent) and the final re-spray, so would appreciate recommendations for good people in the Kent/E.Sussex area! Also a good parts supplier in the UK - I don't want to fit crappy cheap bits if I'm going to the trouble of dismantling the whole car. In the States they all go to WW but I suspect the shipping costs will be mad! When I get cracking I'll post some piccies - all I've got at the moment is it rolling painfully into the garage...
