Now I know why I titled this "the Project"
Not sure if I will ever be Done !
Tis Spring Time Again.............
Throw in some New headlights
And some Bling for the upcoming 4th
And still waiting on the 250' of edging from Trim-Lok, the old stuff sucked.
Have a Great Day,

The old Plastic Trim was not going to work.......
Got a 250' roll from Trim-Lok, and went to work.
Much Nicer Results
And enough left over to finish the rest of the edges.
Have a Great Day,

A couple of more updates to share.
I wanted to add a first aid kit, not much room to work with.
This is where it landed.
And then the replacement of worn out steering box.
Not yet completed, but close. I had to drop axle, better than removing hood.
Have a Great Day,

I wouldn't catergorize Her a "trailer queen" (she hasn't even been in it yet)
I just work 2 weekends a month, and there are few shows in this area. Hoping to take her to shows in nearby states,when time is available.
Also, building codes would not allow me to extend my garage, the room will be nice this winter.
Like I said, I'm No Vincent..... 1/2 an hour behind the wheel is about all I can take.
Have a Great Day,

Great job on your Barris T Buggy Bill!! I've been dragging mine around since 2002 and paid more for mine than you did (400.) Watching your build on here inspired me to get moving on mine, I posted some pictures of the chassis after I restored it in my gallery. I haven't figured out how to post pictures on a post or make an avitar. This is my 3rd post on the Samba. Thanks |

[quote="massbugman"] I haven't figured out how to post pictures on a post or make an avatar. /quote]
I don't know if the buggy forum has a sticky, but I know the Ghia forum does.
Go there and read how to post pics. There should also be instructions on how to make your avatar.
Good luck! |

I found this today while surfing the interweb..........
$995.00 ? I guess the $350, was a good deal.

Looking good, Bill! Hand painted stripes or vinyl? A small inline of red would pull in the color of the piping in the upholstery... |
