Welcome Matty 450.

If you hang around on this forum and ask questions, or for bits, then you'll certainly have your buggy up and running long before May 2018.

Coalville isn't far from several active forum members - Merscury is up at Long Eaton - so if you're not careful you'll soon have a visit or invitation to a meeting.

Mersury has an immaculate orange buggy so he's going to be drawn to that worrying amount of orange that is on you chassis !

Hi Hugh, Good to meet you ! As always available tinkering time is the restriction  :(

Oh indeed many have limited tinkering time but once they get on this forum the enthusiasm, knowledge and humour of the members usually propels them to achieve many things they didn't know they could !

Mark (Zip Buggy) joined this forum a year ago (see - http://www.beachbuggy.info/index.php/topic,9100.0.html ) and found his 80's garage 'project' was soon travelling as a fantastic buggy to the International Buggy Meeting in Germany, and has never looked back....

Your photos are great. Keep telling us where you are at and if (!) you have an issue to solve.
Hugh
