Oh yeah.  - At my age things get a little blurry   

The flashing light wiped it from your memory.  A bit of a MIB magic pen thing going on there!


Oh, yes, looking good Hazel.   Can you slow down with your build and let me catch up 

Never 









This is what I did on Sunday

More pics and VIDEOS  (and a couple of sentences) on here http://beachbuggybrummies.co.uk/buggy-build/the-build-part-3/ (if anyone is interested)

Now you're really gettig there Hazel

BTW, are you going to use a atandard petrol tank? and have you done a test fit with the steering rack??

That's looking good Hazel, really like the third brake light

Yes, going to use a standard petrol tank. I thought I'd posted some pics but I guess that was on the old forum 









I think pretty much everything (except the engine) was trial fitted before it was painted

I think it works so well being on a orange shell its all most not seen 

It blends in nicely 

hazel I think you really need two support bearings on your main column .as it is I only see your top one.

1 at the top and 1 at the bottom? 

definatelly, your using a double nuckle joint lower section so its a must. as far up and as low as you can

another point is it must be on the main shaft not just on an outer sleeve unless you have bearings inside the sleeve tube to support the inner shaft.

There is one at the top and one at the bottom  don't ask me, I don't know what I'm doing.

Shaggy came round yesterday to crack the whip and help us out 

We managed to bleed the brakes and get the tracking sorted, Shaggy also gave us lots of advice and ideas for the build and the 2nd build I'm going to tackle soon enough  Thank you Shaggy
