Welcome onboard Slapading. Love the colour and wheels for a start !

I for one haven't seen one of these out and about still with the roof fitted.

Have you had a buggy beofre and do you plan or does it need any fettling ?

A good cheap buy Rich's ranchero, get the starting sorted, brakes and steering checked then enjoy it.

Good to know the starting was a simple fix, thinking it had the glass in but not seen it for 4 or5 years, the rear window was Hillman imp.

Going to fit polcarbonate rear window back in it if can find some seals that will form round the tight radius s if not will bind them in. Have got rear window but got repair the frame as rotted out in places. Them fir roll bar and cage and rear seats for kids.

I bonded polycarbonate to the fibre glass on my rear hatch using sikaflex and the primer cannot remember the number but it make lifting the roof off easier as it is much lighter than glass.

Welcome aboard
Have a search for some Boat Chandlers, as they can often come up with some better trims for polycarbonate windows
