Well its only taken me 6 years to find a buggy after joining the forum in 2018. I ended up buying a LWB Doon built by Volksmagic in 2014 affectionally known as the "Hulk"
It seems to be fairly well known!

Even after driving it for just a few hundred miles there are several potential mods I would like to consider and would be grateful for any advice /suggestions.
1.Having a long term ankle and foot injury I find the clutch heavy and stiff and wonder if its feasible and practical to upgrade to a hydraulic clutch, and if that would address the issue, or are there other alternatives?

2. Has anyone fitted an aftermarket "electric" power steering kit? I've been quoted over 1k all in but looking at the forum it would appear there are cheaper options using  Vauxhall Corsa Parts. Has anyone had this done, and were you pleased with the results? and is there any one known in Worcestershire who could do it....I'm no mechanic!

3.The bug is presently fitted with Audi TT seats which although comfortable ,tend to sit high leaving not much space between the seat and the steering wheel. I had explored getting the rack moved up but the cost was prohibitive so now its option two, lower seats and, or a smaller steering wheel.MX5 seats seem a popular choice.

4. Finally I need the roll over cage modified to fit a "Simmonds" soft top. I'm guessing Volksmagic will be able to sort this as they made the original cage.

Any suggestions greatly received.

Hello Jon,  Dave here with the yellow Doon, we chatted at Malvern about your seats.

Look forward to seeing the Hulk next year.

Great to see The Hulk has gone to a good home   

Great another buggyist and another member of the MBC !

Thanks for the welcome  😃👍

Hi Jon
Welcome and great to see the hulk has found a new home.
I am the designer of the Doon and did the wiring on the Hulk too and I also live in Worcestershire too (Kempsey to be exact).
In terms of the seats can the frames beneath the seats be modified to effectively lower the seats any more?
As for the column, I can't remember what column was fitted to the hulk but I have a Golf MK4 in mine that fits easily onto the Doon column support frame and is adjustable in and out and up and down. You are more than happy to come to my place and sit in my Doon to try it out for size.
I would also speak with Lee at Volksmagic about the cage as they are the best in the area for making and modifying bespoke buggy cages.
Cheers
Chad

It`s a Hi from me
