Q-Bert the Brazillian freak bug - another wubblermobileHi Dubpounders, here is my bucket....
Freak Brazillian model...check out the small windows, late vents, uber strange front wings, earlyish rear vallance, earlier bonnet with vent?, oval scuttle pannel etc etc. Has very early heater channels and floor pans with disc brakes etc....wierdo ;D Also has a stange shaped engine bay to acommadate for factory twin carbs alng with unusual deck lid vents and a brown plastic dash with mk1 golf style clocks.
Dropped spindles, 6.5" narrow beam and rust!
She has allegedly only done 22k from new and was sat for 20 odd years. Unfortunatly the original engine and box have been swiped to go in a samba so she is running a V.nippy 1300 with a rectangular trekker fan house
She is on a Q plate because the year of manufacture could not be determined.
She will be going under the knife very soon for new bumper mounts and vallence and a few other tweaks. If its ok with y'all i will update the thread for prosperity

Just thought i would post a couple of updated pics with the sprints and rack.
I think i need to get a pair of higher profile tyres for the back which is a bummer because they are new firestones
What do you guys think?

Sprints look mint mate.
Makes me think about going away from having a stocker.
