I have a couple of questions. How much of the body is custom and how much is original? What make and model is/was it? Great work. It's a beautiful buggy.

Buggy Make

Post by Tominator »

Tom, I'm Not sure what make or body it is as I have never seen one like it .But below are a few photos of one which was on ebay recently that looks similar to what I started out with . I installed side pods which I purchased at the MANXSTORE and also made small changes to almost every panel except the top of the front fenders. http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d99/T ... 4/78_1.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d99/T ... 4/ac_1.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d99/T ...

Please Update!

Please update!!! I have not seen anything since 7-21-06. I have had my Buggy at the welder for for a LONGGGGG time, waiting for my custom built front & rear bumper cages to be built. One of those deals...he had a couple of jobs ahead of me, then he got sick. I would be upset if it was not a hobby. On top of that I know he is good! Please Please show us the updates!

Done at long last

Finally got to go for a drive in a Buggy . These things are a gas - just wish I had put in stock rubber rear swing plate bushings an not the urathane type as they squeek like crazy. Also this exhaust is way to loud . Image Image

90 No beach for this buggy - at least not for a few years . I built it as a street buggy and will be building the next one for beach /fire trails / roads /etc . There are alot of dirt roads in the mountains nearby that I think would be great fun with a buggy.
