Another Buggy hits the road !!

Well done Ben great news and so you should be well chuffed and proud as all your own work

has every one been looking at you yet,
Neil over the other side is a paramedic , he said the first time he went on a shout he couldnt stop looking at his reflection in the shop windows...just an idea

Plenty had a good look as I tootled to and from the test station. Was a good feeling.

Tucked up in the garage right now until I can get it taxed. Fire extinguishers came this morning while I was out so will pick them up and fit them tomorrow.

I now feel properly proud of myself!!!

And so you should 

Well Done Ben 

Well done Ben, didn't think you would have a problem passing the Mot anyway.
Been watching your build on here and the other site (RIP) and you've done a real cracking job, enjoy the summer.

Well done Ben  That looks the dogs. Can't wait to see the flat 6 in there

Well, a week in and what a hoot!!!!

Done 150 miles so far. Driven to work and back twice this week but the weather wasnt good enough for anymore.

Couple more jobs done. Went over to see Farmer Rob yesterday and we had a play with the carb main jets. Was fitted with a 125 main which appears to be right for a 1300. Tested out a 122.5 and a 120 but settled on the 122.5. Buggy flies now.

Went over to see Steve (Lovebug) this morning. Absolutely top guy with an awesome buggy which was one of my inspirations to pick up a rear seat.

Needs retrimming to match my front seats but its great and fits like a glove. Was made by Steve himself too. Daughter insisted on modelling it.....





That will be going off to the trimmers very soon. Also getting a carpet set sorted.

Well, a week in and what a hoot!!!!

Looking good just getting a rear seat made for mine, where are you getting carpet set from I can recommend Nick at rugsforbugs

Exactly where I'm going Kenny.......

  Coolio  they're making a carpet for my transmission tunnel, I was going for a full carpet set but got hold of some heavy duty rubber mat foc from a mate so covered the floor pans in that just needed to smarten up the tunnel may even go for a full carpet set at a later date

Not updated this for a while, been too busy enjoying it! Covered nearly 700 miles now. Engine due an oil change and i need to get another piece of glass cut for the wind wings. Rear seat yet to be trimmed and ive got a couple of other bits and mods planned. Still need to get some shiney wheel nuts!  First mod is tyres. Rears need to be a little taller and the fronts a little narrower and lesser in the sidewall profile.

Anyways, a few pics from the weekend. I think it looks really nice. Im so happy with the colour.
