well, after surfin dubbers for a year or so now ive finally got my hands on a great little buggy at a great price..

shes a 59 pan (i belive) swb austrum buggy sporting a 1600 twin port. motor is of unknown quality, will try to start it up soon.

it has a fair bit of wiring to be done, instruments installed, windscreen reattached, pan cleaned and painted, exhaust attached and some jacking up to do, but overall not too big a project but just what i was looking for...

enjoy!

ps- if anyone has a muffler of any type or chrome rollbars they want to rid themselves of then let me know..


the little lady showin me whos boss...

Do you want to buy the molds for it ? Going cheap. I have had them for years and never used them.

*update*:bounce:bounce

after having the last two days off on leave and the next two to go, the wiring in my beautiful Evie is nearly completed... but shit! how much wire do these fuckers have!? ive spent a fortune but it will last.... all the wiring is arranged really neatly and tomorrow im going to be connecting up the fuse box and relays, which will be contained in a waterproof clear container, yeah i think im tricky! hahaha:P:P keep an eye out for it..

ive installed two disguised kill switches in the ol' girl so she should stay safe from thieves unless they have a tow truck. once shes up and running i'm toying with making my own soft top, probably impossible but i'll give it a go.. i just dont want to outlay the big bucks... my version of a soft top would have zippered doors that roll up and a zippered hatch at the back also.. cant wait!

anyways, pics will follow tomorrow!
