my story starts with my first car i owned back in 88 before i passed my test which was a beetle and by the time id past my test i built it in to a baja !
did all the aircooled stuff but deep down i was after a hot rod so 1991 sold the baja and bought a street and strip ford pop with 5.0 V8  , since then i went from a

1979 C 10 chevy monster truck  with 10" lift and 44" tyres

then pro street chopped pop and in 1995 decided to sell the pop to fund setting up my own business www.customcoachtrimming.co.uk which is still what i do today .

business , house ,kids and life put me on hold for 17 years then i bought a 1929 for model A sedan

then sold for 1958 chevy lowrider wagon

then sold for 1959 chevy apache with twin turbo LS V8 and 600 hp

then sold for 1932 ford 3 window coupe which still own now .......................... so with being my type of car i never thought i would ever own a flat four ever again !!!!!!!
i definitely wasnt looking or had any intensions on buying a buggy but i am a massive mooneyes fan and cant list the amount of mooneyes suff i have as it will bore you sh..less !!!!!!!!!!! so when a mooneye buggy popped up on the internet i just had to buy it !!!!!

so there you have it .............there is alot more to the story of the pain i had after buying the buggy but thats for another day

Hello and welcome! Nice looking buggy, I'm guessing it started life as a Hustler GT.

I trust you know that M@@N themselves built and own a buggy.

Welcome aboard indeed - love to hear more about it   ;-)up

Screen and bonnet have intrigued me as the screen surround i definitely Hustler GT, but the bonnet doesn't appear to be ?  Unusual combination  :-\

Welcome.

So have you plans to change your new buggy - add more Mooneye stickers - or just get out in the last days of summer ?

Dubs in the Valley (DY12 1ST) between Kidderminster and Bridgnorth on Sunday 15th September would introduce you to some of the other local buggyists...

Good to see you joining the buggy crew not been at Honeybourne to yours for many years but used to see you in the gold passat heading home at times.
A good coach trimmer will be useful.
