Pretty nice. Clean bugs are hard to find in these parts. I'll have to post a pic of my buggy soon. I have an Empi Imp fiberglass body dune buggy on a shortened '67 pan.

Nice transformation! (Ala MTVs "Pimp My Ride"!)

Looking forward to restoring mine yet again...the Texas outdoors practically ruined the car in only two years!

Very nice. Looks like you did a great job. I had a 56 VW Bug (circa 1965) with a rag top sunroof. It was a lot of fun. Wish I had it today. I had big oversize snow tires on it. I never got stuck in the snow no matter how deep (I live in Penna.). Enjoy and have fun with it.

Nice – I’ve got a 63 ragtop sunroof. In my Gyrogearloosian way I’d have be draw to be drawn to the before paint job though. My car is totally tits, but only on a close second inspection.

May you never buy our bus, gone 30 years ago but never to be forgotten! You could probably smoke the interior. A drug dog would go catatonic from 50 ft downwind, probably even after 30 years.

I did a search online but didn't find anything worth while and ebay was even less fruitfull
You're looking for an EPROM burner, I think. Couldn't find one? Heck, EPROM's are a cottage industry in Canada. Try one of those cable/satellite pirate shops.

Nice work. I would like to get hold of a Thing myself. Unfortunately, they are even MORE trashed than Bugs, or VERY expensive.
