Hi all. I am looking for a set of wheels for buggy. Anybody have Chevy style silver wheel set - ideally 15 x 8" front and 15 x 10" rear with PCD 5 x 4 3/4. I like the American Racing as in pics. Or Wolfrace slots. Let me know. Thanks  Eamon

Will send a pm

Thanks all

Hi all
Looking to buy a buggy which has a king and link pin chassis.
can anyone advise how easy/hard it is to do a disc coversion on an early chassis with a king and link pin front end? I see a conversion kit on Justkampers (link below). Is this a good way to go - or should i consider changing front end to ball and joint? And what are implications here (as i was advised that king and link pin limits disk brake conversion on the front as you have to add drop spindles which lower the front end)
Any idea of costs also assuming a pro did the work
Many thanks

Thanks guys

Thanks to both of you (Paul x 2)
i am still investigating options. I would love to build a SWB but outsource the more challenging mechanical parts which i hope would mean a smooth IVA. In terms of costs, i don't know as yet. I am lloking at what i believe is a good donor (new 1600 engine, disc brakes, solid chassis) for about £3500. A kit is about anoth 1000-1500. Chassis shortening seems to be aboyt another 1000. So that's 6k without windscreen, rollbars, rook, lights, instruments, seats etc. And also labour costs to help where needed.
If anyone has a budget and components list of their build that would be very helpful
I am based in Bishops Strotfoed (Herts/Essex off M1)

Hi all
I just joined this forum after seeing a buggy last week and would love to get one. I have been considering kit cars for a while now but wanted something fun and for use off-road and the Beach Buggy ticks those boxes as well as looking amazing.
So, ideally i would like to purchase a correctly registered SWB such as a Sidewinder. If i have to build one then may start with a LWB but i much prefer the looks of the SWB - i just don't know how difficult and costly it will be to build one and get it through the IVA. If i could  get an existing buggy that i could personalise over time that would be ideal
i am waiting on delivery of the Hiw to build a Dune Buggy manual to learn some more but i would be grateful for any tips and tricks
Thanks
Eamon

Hi. I am seeking a SWB, ideally one with correct V5C registration as beach buggy. A Sidewinder would be great. Please let me know if any become available. Thanks

Hi. Is this green Manx still for sale? How much and do you have pics you can share? Thanks
