If either of you want Marks (Dreamshacks) number in the future I can PM it you. I can't recommend him enough.
He did both thoughs for me in a weekend for £180.

Got a few more jobs done this week including painting the chassis, both rear hub seals, fuel line in (that was a bugger to do) and a bit more wiring.

Really enjoying doing this, it ain't going to be a show winner but I can get it muddy.

As it stands at the moment

Well it's now in its new home my garage.



It towed ok and Chad will be pleased to know my lights all work fine, using the buggy lights as the trailer board.

Got the locks fitted to the battery and storage box. Quite pleased with how this turned out.



Had to cut the Manx dash off and fibreglass the Sidewinder one on. The Manx one just wouldn't sit low enough, was on top of the body rather than inside.

A bit of cutting and filing it now fits.





Just got to get under the dash somehow and fibreglass it to the tub as I had to hack it about a bit to get it on.

Well the new dead line is Ragley hall at the end of the month, so had better pull my finger out.

Hazel to be honest if I fitted a roof I don't think it would fit through the garage door ;D

Picking the steering column up this weekend while I'm on holiday and think I have all the parts to finish just got to put it together. Not enough hours in the day at the moment.
