Title: Newbie from Cambs
Post by: bedbug on August 10, 2017, 10:31:31 AM
Hi

Thanks for letting me join

I've been looking for a buggy for a while & then had a beer and ebay Friday evening  :)
(Really fancy an old American F150 but not yet )

Well it was local that's all I can say, drove it the 30 miles home and then started to have a look around it

An hour after getting back

That was at the end of April

Exciting. You look like you have all the ingredients for a useful, fun and stylish buggy - are you missing anything or is it simply time preventing you from getting it on the road today ?

Welcome to the site. Wiring there looks quite good compared to some I have seen but a strip and build is always a good idea as there can be some horrors hidden in buggy builds.

Hi Jim and Welcome. If you're in North Cambs, Peterborough area, I'm up near Bourne. There are a couple more buggy round here too. We'll have to get together for a cruise :)

I've got 99% of the bits, I'm hoping to be on the road in a couple of weeks

I've started to realise that  :'(

I'll post a bit of a build thread
