Bugeye restoration up-date

Since the weather here has been unusually mild for this time of year I have made substantial progress. Here’s a few photos.

re: your picture #4... I also ran the brake line over the shock and have considered whether I'd have to break that line to get the shock out...?

I put the shocks on after I did the brake lines. Should be no problem to remove.
 
Re: Bugeye restoration up-date

Excellent! :cheers:

Nice to see someone making progress (my projects are all stalled these days).

Re: Bugeye restoration up-date

I did climb in and sit on two pillows no noises though.
 
Re: Bugeye restoration up-date

You gotta grab the wheel and make vroom vroom noises and maybe even shift some gears...keeps us young!

Re: Bugeye restoration up-date

I did shift some gears but the car is in the garage and the transmission is in the basement. I was tempted to let it go down my steep driveway with just the e brake but I don’t know how I would get it back up.
