Manx Club

Yeah, shorten the frame and get this build going. and to eat better also.

I've been trying to do what I can. The Buggy is so many pieces that at times I don't know what to ask.

Tony, If it makes you feel better the gap in my hood looks very close to yours (and mine is the correct Manx hood). My hood is hitting the body at each end but I have the same gap in the middle. A pervious owner put the screws so high they show in the gap from the outside. I can cut some off on the ...

That is looking good!:drool:

I was wondering about this also.

Like this? Found this somewhere So I can not take credit.

I have an old Manx Rollbar (non chrome/ss) that I was not going to use (was going to buy a new one), but I started thinking about where to mount the seatbelt shoulder harness. Anyone see any issues with welding a tab onto the rollbar (shoulder height, both sides) and having the rollbar refinished. I...

Not wanting to get off subject but I hate the term "ran when parked" (tow'd add). Last time I went to see one of these a 4 foot breaker bar could not turn the vw motor over. The adds look like good possiblities though.

Well we final received a much need thundershower in draught ridden Fl. One problem had by Beetle donor at my brother-n-law?s house, with the pan and body separated now everything is soaked. Haven?t had rain in weeks but it couldn?t wait another day so I could get the pan home to my garage. Oh-well ...

On a Manx 1, The holes in the body do not line up with the holes in the hood (not a straight line). So what this person did was use 1 inch wide peice of metal to catch the top hood bolt and the body hole. Then weld another 1 inch piece to catch the bottom hood hole. Then used 1 inch tubing to connec...

Well back to Dean's car; I have a question does yours have the metal side frames? If it does it is hidden very well.

Another way to do the side posts (I think this is from Samba). So you don't have to do the bend.

The only problem for me with the ebay one, is that it is 2100 miles away.

The Bounty Hunter is my next Buggy (I might want to finish the Manx first) and your's is making me want one more. Been looking for one for a while the closest I've came is a Deserter GT.

UncleBob, I heard a rumor about your buggy is it true?
