I am trying to put my 1960 Bugeye back on the road. So far, it is all stock, except for a black paint job by the PO. I think it is part of the fun to track down original, NOS or rebuilt / refurbished parts. If I ever decide to strip it down and repaint it, I will probably go with an original paint scheme, although maybe not the original iris blue. I also plan to add lap belts, although I am not sure if these offend "originality." I may also add some period-correct modifications, such as a different steering wheel or Mini-lite wheels. I am planning to stay with the 948 cc motor, smooth case transmission, drum brakes, etc. Unless I change my mind. Again, that seems to be part of the fun.
