Thinking about selling my beach buggy as it just doesn't get used that much anymore, and I've got my eye on something else....

Full build thread is on the link http://www.volkszone.com/VZi/showthread.php?t=504399 however spec as follows as I've changed some parts since build and haven't updated the thread:-
Sidewinder shell in one off metal flake by Mel Hubbard
Stubs tantric amount of new metal in the chassis. Por15d and waxoyled.
Slot mags (Chevy stud pattern)
Fitted with recovered MX5 seats (very comfortable), but I do also have one piece low back buckets in matching metal flake.
Stainless headlamps
Stainless sping plate covers (almost no chrome on this car - everything is either polished stainless or polished alloy)
Bikini top for it that keeps you surprisingly dry when it pees it down!
Disk braked front end with correct stud pattern disks (no dangerous adapters!)
Rear drums red rolled and fitted with press in studs
2054cc full aftermarket engine (new engine since origional build thread)
CB performance 74mm chrome moly crank
CB performance Unitech rods
Auto linea aluminium case
CB performance filter pump
Lightened flywheel, 8 doweled with 200mm clutch
CB performance chrome moly gland nut
Engle 120 with Scat lifters
Manton cut to length pushrods
Stainless pushrods tubes
94mm Mahle b&ps
CB performance Ultra Mag CNC ported heads with 42x37mm valves
CB performance CNC port matched inlet manifolds
CB performance 1.25 ratio rockers with bolt up shafts and elephants feet
Twin weber 44idfs with ram pipes and ram air filters
One off full stainless exhaust system with 1 5/8" merged heads
Distributor less ignition using meg jolt and edis

This is silly quick and lights the rear tyres up as though they are not there.

Looking for £10000. I don't need to sell this, so won't be entertaining any silly offers. Not interested in px as I already have too many vehicles!
Located north east Hampshire.
Anyone interested?
Cheers
Jon

Having trouble getting photos to upload - flipping ipad! Anyway a few up to date photos can be found at the following links - for some reason they won't display when I put them in as images.











EDIT AndyR - Hi Jon, actually took a bit of hacking.... but by a bit of a process, I managed to crack the dropbox code to get them showing - Though it looks like dropbox is not usually the way!  ;-)up

Thanks guys, and thanks to Andy R for sorting the pics out!

Meant to add, it's 9.5:1 compression, as I got stateside to machine the heads for me, and its also got a deep sump on it.
Case is clearances for soemthing like an 82mm crank, and has also been smoothed and flowed internally for better oil return.

Lets see if there are any takers......I've got my eyes on something even more silly......

Cheers
