Potential New Project

Good day all.

I have been off the site for quite a while.
So here's the deal.

I may be about to start a new project with a beautiful yellow Bugeye. Paint and bodywork immaculately completed by B Rod and Custom in Knoxville five or six years ago for a friend who never had the time to complete the project.

Problem is that I need to clean out garage space. I have three abandoned project cars that need to go. Two Bugeyes and a 1966 Sprite. I am about to post them on the typical sites. I will be asking $3500 for the lot.

Ray,

Welcome Back. Exciting to know that you are back among the BE Community once again. Hoping that life's hurdles are in your rear view mirror. I just got a quote on beautiful paintwork for Bugsy 2 weeks ago. $8,000. After doing a complete spit take the decision was immediately made, I'm painting Bugsy myself.

Sounds like you've got enough spare part and a donor for Disc Brake Upgrade and maybe a larger A Series engine. Congrats again and welcome back.

Ray:

What a wonderful surprise!

Whitephrog never made it to Europe. I got re-directed to Saudi Arabia to work on Yemen for a few years (and the car went to storage) and I just arrived in Barbados a week ago. The car will likely ship next week or the week after. Barbados is the traditional right hand drive country. I purchased all the items for a RHD conversion, including a plastic RHD dash. By any chance might you have a RHD metal dash? I'm considering the RHD conversion, but doing electrical grounds on a plastic dash seems problematic.

Welcome back. I'm so happy to hear from you.

I don't have anything RHD. Here's one on eBay UK.....very pricey.
