Hi All,

Would anyone happen to know the overall width at the widest point of a GT LWB buggy, currently produced by east coast buggies. (Previously Kingfisher and GT Mouldings I believe)
I guess this would be across the rear arches.

Thanks in advance,

Cheers
Steve

Steve, my GT Mouldings tub is 71in / 180cm across the widest point, which is pretty much in line with the rearmost point on the rear rims.
If it ain't broke, fix it 'til it is...

Originated by GT Mouldings and then East Coast Buggies, Kingfisher would sell you one that they ordered off East Coast and put their % age on but they never moulded it.
"Ah, Beach Buggies, sure, just a quick cheap way of getting a few more years out of a rusty Beetle. You can throw one together in a weekend." anon.

Hi Luddite
Many thanks for the information.
I can go measure against my garage acess, its quite tight but I think 180cm should be okay.

Thanks for the timeline info Manxdavid, I was not 100% sure who did the mouldings prevoiously.

Cheers
