Congratulations Bob! Have you decided on how you are going to build it; street, off road, or dual?

WooHoo! Another Manxter owner! :rock: Welcome to the club! I'd like to think I influenced that decision, but I know better.... :roll: If you need any help along the way give us a shout. We'll help with what we can. I love the smell of freshly drilled fiberglass.... I can smell it now... Oh wait! That's in MY garage! hahahaha Good luck with the budget! It is very ea :dollar: y to find thing :dollar: you would like for the buggy. And after seeing the Resorter, I know your standards are high. Now we know why the Resorter was for sale. I'd love it if you had a gallery so we could follow the build. When will you recieve delivery of the body? Kathleen

Budget!!!! What kind of heresy is that. Manxters always seem to breal a budget. Just build it the way you want it. Do not be in a hurry, and do everything just the way it should be done. Also, be sure to take a lot of pictures during the build. Remember to enjoy this.

thanks everybody, Im watching Kathleens buggy transformation and its looking pretty temping to go subi. I have a real good friend here that is a subi nut and he is very helpful in tech support dept. So building a subi might not be out of the question. Warning: I will change my mind at least a thousand times before its over.

[font=Comic Sans MS]I also bought a Manxter kit (#87) a few months ago and haven't started the build yet :D. I would also be interested in seeing the progress in your build, so lots of pictures OK.
