Got her back safety tucked away in garage.

Can't wait to get the final bits done before mot

Roll bar and seat belts fitted (anyone who knows of someone who can do a decent, inexpensive roll bar, please get in touch)
New windscreen

Then the customising and tinkering begins!

Got an update for us Chris?
How close are you to getting it on the road?

Supergimmer · **Reply #32 on:** August 01, 2014, 05:07:59 PM

Only a small update at present.

Still tucked up in garage been started regularly.

In middle of organising for it to be transported to gloucester for rollbar measuring and manufacture/fitting.

Should be sometime next week, then install seatbelts and prepare for MOT

You sorted the screen glass yet

Supergimmer · **Reply #34 on:** August 01, 2014, 06:06:07 PM

Oh crikey, no I haven't yet but have somewhere I can get it from so will do that after it comes back with roll bar.

Hi all,

Bit of an update...

Buggy is booked in for rollbar this Thursday, when that's done, seatbelts will need to be done.
Then it's just a case of replacing the windscreen and asking Keith to kindly give her a pre-mot tune up.

HOWEVER...

I must say that things have not progressed as quickly as I'd like, as I now need to move from my house into a bungalow as I fell when using my stairlift last week.

Just means that I've got a bit more on my plate, but the buggy is almost done.

HI ALL

BIT OF AN UPDATE... QUITE A BIG ONE ACTUALLY

Over the winter I moved into an adapted bungalow in Evesham which has helped me greatly.
I have not had any time to spend on the buggy, but it is safely tucked up at present thanks to Eddie the worlds best MOT guy.

In next few weeks it will be MOT'd and will be ready for the great British summer. Updates and pictures to follow soon.

Big thanks to Keith, Andy and Eddie. Youve all been a great help, without your help the buggy wouldn't have been built for some time.

Cheers

Aim for the road on april the first that gives you a month before the big stoneleigh show meet.

Supergimmer · **Reply #38 on:** March 08, 2015, 02:57:19 AM

I think that's actually something I could work toward without too many issues.

Will keep you up to speed.

Hope you're keeping well.

NOW ON THE ROAD! Finally!

Needs a re spray and alloys refurbed otherwise fine

Can't wait to drive it to shows

Huge thanks to snoopy, chimp and Eddie (MOT)

Yay well done mate. See you on the road some time.

snoopy · **Reply #41 on:** June 08, 2015, 08:00:04 PM

Well thatss good news.

Ed says you had a shift coupling failure as the plastic fell apart and the carb blocked up where it has stood again driving home, the sister in law passed you broken down being recovered.

sunday is stratford race course so have a look in the events listings.

Supergimmer · **Reply #42 on:** June 08, 2015, 08:04:07 PM

Yup got a urethane upgrade empi one now.

Had to get a new carb but these are things that happen when you have a kit/classic car.

Hopefully picking it up tomorrow after daughters sports day

Had a great time and made good friends.

First of many...
