Is that the engine that was originally for your Baja?

No, got it for the buggy, does use the baja's adaptor though.

You're nuts, in a good way.    I'm looking forward to the reports of your first drive! 

I can give you the report already:

Warmed engine up, got to end of road, turned left, lifted front wheels 2ft by mistake, twisted driveshafts, sheared wheel adaptors, gearbox scattered on road. Pushed buggy back to garage. The best 21 seconds of my life so far!

 

I'm sorry Baz that post should have come with a warning, sprayed tea everywhere! Ha ha
Hopefully you will be able to sort it all out so you can get it back on the road.

  And you thought the gearbox would be ok.

To be honest, I think you over did it with the extra weight of the arial bracket!

Have a chat to these guys - http://bearsmotorsport.co.uk/volkswagen

They built a very nice gearbox for Austin's supercharged Buggy.

Yup . . .  Just done the same !!   

  best laugh I,ve had for while baz

now you want a cage for all the bits.

Big respect some talk and others do, at least you have driven it, hope you can sort quickly, given achievement so far i guess you can.

I bet your face was a picture for the first ten seconds

Definitely - all credit for doing it.

Sorry guys I think I've mislead you, that was a prediction not an actual report, I'm still putting the engine frame together! Now I feel I'm going to HAVE to make the first trip like that so I don't let you all down 

Cheers for the link Seth, I'll look into it.
