Buddy, my '66 Ruby Red bug

Post by Rach66 »

Hi, after posting in the new members section I thought I'd introduce my car.

A Ruby Red '66 and my pride and joy. His name is Buddy and he is my everyday car 365 days a year.

Hi!

I've had Buddy 9 months. He's my first VW and I wish I'd got one sooner! I had a 2CV previously, which I had restored.

Doing lots of cosmetic work to him at the moment, currently deciding whether to put Albert mirrors on him, as my current one just broke. Decisions, desicions! :roll:

How did you come to become acquainted with Buddy? I'm hoping my little 66 can look as good as your Bug someday. Looking good!!

Thanks!

Bought him off a guy who was worried he was going to get tatty as he didn't have enough time to spend on him. Had a bit of a drive to get him, he was advertised on the web

Had to spend some time and money to get him looking nice again, haven't finished as I am currently trying to find a pair of original front seats, but it's all fun.

:D
