I hear you loud and clear on that one. By the way, which 'Santa' did you use for the disk brake kit?

Looks like loads of fun lying in store for you on this build. Are you going low for the street or raised for the dunes?

Very inspirational thread and build. Just started my own, and the to do list just keeps on growing. 

Ooh! So many options! Porsche, ScoobieDoo, upside down Audi/Passat, custom built gearbox from over the Seven Seas. I feel like a kid in a candy store, with nothing but holes in his pocket.
How about a Kombi gearbox? I'm sure on of you guys used that?

  thanks guys, I guess I will have to start with the engine and first determine how much power I've got to work with before building or installing a box which can cater to my needs. Did any type ones come out with a 5 speed gearbox?

So I finally brought the buggy home, and as soon as the festive season subsides the deconstruction will start. So I've got some turbo charged aspirations and I was wondering which gearbox will deliver some good quarter mile times anda good sustainable top-end?

It's intended to be a 'project', but I first need to finish and sell my other 'project', but seeing some other buggies might convince her that it was her idea to get one? Everytime I visit the buggy Imrealise that this is going to be months of fun building it. Probably won't be done for the bulk of the Summer, but there's always the next Summer. I live in Cape Town where we have beautiful beach weather most of the Spring, Summer and Autumn. My beach buggynis a Beamish Buggy, and they are quite popular here in South Africa.

She's away for the week. Im thinking of taking her to a local version of bugjam 16 November. That should be a good time to break the news.
