So some of you may have seen my buggy project from the old forum! Ive made a bit of progress on it recently. The roll cage is just about finished and all bolted in, however its going to have a few changes ( the rear bars are going to be repositioned) but its moving along now!

In the last picture you can see how twisted/ off center the shell is at the moment, hopefully that will be sorted this weekend though!

Hopefully it will be ready for the summer!

Well done chap,

keep plugging away at it and you'll be surprised how fast things will go..

I'm only down the road in Hersham so if you pop along to volkworld come and say hi and I could pop over and give you some encouragement at home if you like..

Thanks Hunter! saw your buggy at volksworld, who made your roof? It looks perfect! Thanks, well it would be nice to meet some people off here at one point! And feel free to pop round to ours! And let me know if you ever need a hand!

So I went to Volksworld with a list as long as my arm of bits but only manage to come home with this!





Kept me happy though, long way to get to that stage though!

Keep going buddy, looks good so far, with a bit of luck the weather will warm up allowing more time in the garage 

Hi jonny,

We made the roof ourselves we hope to be making some for others soon.

Dont forget the SDBC, we meet over at The Star ,Malden Rushet (Chessington), the first wed of the month see events section for proper details.
You should have made yourself known or did you but I was to cold to respond. any help come along to club night and have a chat.

Cheers H

progress is always good, the spring weather will lift the enthusiasm levels and work rate.

Thanks! It does look really well made, what material did you use? And i might have to pop down to the next one! Wont be in a buggy though!

Hunter's Roof and How it works

Thanks Peter, very helpful!

So quite a bit of work has been put into flatting the shell back but the buggy finally has an engine! Also made a start on the wiring. Its a bit spaghetti junction at the moment but should straighten out!

Well I havnt updated this in a while now, just been playing with electrics really! But yesterday we tested the electrics and the engine turned over first time with no difficulties! Result the electrics seem to be working well! Just need to get the fuel lines in to test the engine!

I'm happy!, its nice to see the smallest bit of life after 9 months of building it! 

I'll get some pics up later!

Well done great news hope to see you out and about soon

I might even have mine on the road by then  I hate wiring been driving me mad plus now got to sort engine out as had a few problems usual trials and tribulations of an old veedub

Ohh they certainly do take up every bit of spare time!

Well heres the updated pictures!

This is looking good! 

I think so too 

These things can take time, in fact I always think the ones that have taken a little
longer to do are usually the more interesting.

Would you mind if I swiped some of your pictures and used them in my site ?

Keep them coming though

Peter
