 :D as i got a few mins spare heres sum pic of the wot i did with the shell before i changed my mind and painted it ,,,,

wot i did was lay a carbon/kevlar weave over the shell hopeing it would be a good finish ,and adding strenth to the old shell,,

after alot of triming ,, flating and more it started to take shap

after as i wasnt 100% happy with the way it looked i started playin  with it ,, n got some crystal stuff of ebay ,, carnt remember the name lol  ???




but still was'nt happy with it  :o,, so paint it was orange n black , ::) n thats how its staying ,, i think !!!! :-\,

That looks spot on. I would have had the patience to carry on to make a special looking buggy

just thinking it was yellow from gp I made it porsche signal red well orange, then it went all sorts of colours and now back to the stable buggy colour orange with a hint of black.

Looks great.

May be worth an ask to see if anyone has a spare engine that they would mind you using whilst you re-build.  Could get you on the road and enjoying this sun!

Wow.  This thread has managed to pass me by until now!!  Your buggy's looking great. It's a shame about your photos going AWOL. Keep up the good work.  ;-)up
