So having finally finished the beach buggy after many years on and off due to racing karts then rally cars with my son, I am now about to start on my own vehicle. Code name Sand Scorcher , nothing to see at the moment except a nice tidy garage awaiting a VW I bought 11 years ago.

Another build thread with less distractions, this will be interesting.

East coast buggies still do a great Bug Eye Baja kit but you probably know that already...

I have one on order with Rob already but it will probably get modified to suit my application

Oh no the purists are going to burn me at the stake 

Well here she is just brought her back from the farm unit, bit rotten in places but plenty to go at 

And so it begins, not going to be many words I'm afraid

Looks like the body is in reasonable condition

Great to see a Baja Build on here  -  Looking forward to this one   

So I had this turn up today 6 speed manual gearbox from a Porsche 996 and last week bought this Honda Legend which I will be using the engine from, an all aluminium 3.5ltr V6 with v tec 295bhp and 260ft lbs of torque in standard form naturally aspirated, all I have to do is mate the two together and squeeze it all in the back of the Baja 

More max attack today

Some minor modifications gonna be required here

Will it need IVA testing because of chassis mods or will you just be an outlaw like (most of) the rest of us?

I can't imagine what you mean, it's only modified if you know what you're looking at
