If you go to Kendal don`t forget to pick up your supply of "kendal rock cake"   ;-)up ;-)up

And don't forget the Top Mill Snuff!

I don't actually think we have any snuff makers left  :-\

Just a quick not to say it was great to meet BuggyPete + Bri (Hormone) who was also paying a visit today, suffice to say the wallet is a bit lighter and the project a bit further along - top bloke, much appreciated advice and font of knowledge, always welcome for a brew if passing Kendal!
Ditto Woody and Freddie.
I pass through Kendal every Saturday so pout the kettle on  ;D

Will probably be down at the unit on Saturday, welcome to drop by, I think you have my number now?

1964 you need a king and link pin front axle and a short shaft 1200 gear box a complete 64 as a donor will be harder to find but would come ith another pan and V5.

I have 'most' of the front end, beam and king and link pins, need tie rods and steering stuff - have matched gearbox (I think).

Beach Buggy General Help / I need a few bits!

Now the buggy tub is with me I am going to start properly thinking about the build, so need loads of stuff - this project is going to involve my 7 year old as much as possible and keeping the theme of climate change (loosely) we want to 'up-cycle' as much as possible.

This is not exhaustive but will give me a start - at this stage aiming to get it on the road ASAP - trick bits will come in time.

Essentially what I need is a '64 beetle as that is the chassis I have and in the spirit of buggy - most parts would come from donor.

Front end - Steering box / column / tie bars and all that jazz - will likely go new with braking / suspension but anything goes that serviceable.

Back end: Engine, V5 lists it as a 1300 but open to most things, Prowler buggy has a cut out back end so ideally big and sexy with massive carbs, to get on the road though, most things go.

Interior: there is none but some period Beetle seats would go down a treat!

Windscreen

Silly things that people might have lying around - gear stick, fuel tank, fuel pump, wiper set up (prowler uses original beetle wiper mech etc), seatbelt / harness, little front indicators.

If you have stuff that might be useful please do let me know!

Ideally North West so I can collect but if its post-able then all good, I am based in Kendal.

There is potential that I will be travelling to Brighton for a funeral in the next couple of weeks as well so that might open things up.

brush or spray the jizer on then wrap the item in a plastic bag so it soaks in rather than drying out, then wash off after a good time soaking.

Awesome, thank you!

Haha - cheers chaps, I remember my dad used to brush on a liquid and muck just dripped off - thinking about it, it could have been petrol?

Got a wire bush on the electric drill and its doing a decent enough job on the chassis bits, its just the oily damp cruddy front end really.

I am gathering parts for my build, old stuff is obviously very cruddy, with years of grease and road muck - is there an effective cleaner that is helpful at getting off, while being cost effective!

Are you all on the Facebook group?

This is the place to be and if I`m totally honest, I may pull the facebook group in the near future as too many idiots now posting on there

Fair enough, just a million % easier posting pics and using from iOS.

We’re Egremont, Cleator. About a hour from you. Keep in touch, any crack or help we are here 👍

Awesome, thank you, may see if I can pop up and have a nose around your buggy before I commence build, I have quite an un-realistic turnaround time  8)
