With all the work on the buggy I forgot to tell ye all that the red 70 beetle is gone to a new home. There was a few jobs to do before it went. The front suspension had to be rebuilt. The previous owner had removed the grease nipples allowing moisture into the beam, thankfully the beam was still solid but the bearings inside had rusted and the front solid was solid. A few new bearings, a few grease nipples and two days got that sorted.

I had some rewiring work to do also, not that there was any major problems but the new owner wanted a few changes so i agreed.

Last thing she needed was a good clean and a polish. She was repaired about 10 years ago so she needed a little freshen up. When she was finished she looked savage.

She hasn’t gone too far, Alma’s sister Amanda bought it as her first car so I’ll see the car quite often plus it will be nice to have another beetle on the roads of Galway as a daily driver.
