from the clutches of a brutish Banyan tree that was going to gobble
up the old thing. The pan had gone to rust heaven, managed to save
a few parts off the motor, what's left of the front end and transaxle
are still at the whims of nature in the bush.
As found.....
As she sat under a tarp for nearly ten years........
Been thinking and talking about doing this for an age, finally got the
time, no work, so getting into it, will be a worm burner, down with the
snakes, as in low.
Will be two person pedal powered with a central VW steering wheel so
both occupants can share the driving. Will have brakes but only on the
rear wheels of which there will be four, two driving, two coasting.
Been hoarding (collecting) bits for her for a while, some old school head
lights found in a junk shop, front bar scored at the local dump. Made the
windscreen from an old window frame, can fold down safari style.
Probably obvious, she's a bit heavy so made her so the buggy body can
come off and she can go just as the frame. Really want to keep the VW
flavour, steering wheel, badges, chasing up some ratty hub caps, more soon.......
