Volksrod/Buggy, pedal powered?!

DubbyFan · 2020-04-02T08:02:02+00:00

Time has flown, ten years ago nearly I saved this old J & S buggy 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.......
