Hi all great to find this site, bought my buggy in 1986 had it in many garages and boxes for years then approx 10 years ago it all went together it was then on the road for a few years then in 2006 it was put in the garage until last saturday, after a dust off a lot of reminiscing she started up, so with a bit of tax (free), insurance and MOT and now she's back on the road :D my bone's seem to have aged over the years bleugh and I have always run adjustable Spax all round and am finding this a hard ride, any suggestions what are the best shockers to put on for good handling and a good ride 8)..........Thanks to all in advance.......

Welcome aboard - good to see another Buggy hitting the road  ;-)up

But if you want an answer to your suspension problem, you would be better off asking the question in the Buggy help zone

Nice looking GP, is that an original RX exhaust? It's been years since I've seen one of those!!!

Nice looking 'late model' GP, I love them with those elephant's feet rear lights.
