KO 521 - Now for sale... · Aussieveedubbers

BrisDubba · 2007-12-30T03:19:53+00:00

Thanks to NCH003 off this forum I picked up the latest toy- so I thought I would post the pics, and hopefuly over the next 6 months things should show some improvement. This used to be Crazy Cols old buggy that had the square piping around the edges and then passed through some more hands before landing at Dereks, Derek had desquared it and replaced the heater channels and started some reconstruction. The KO is 521 and by a freaky nature an old family friend who has had his Country Buggy since 1980 and which I used to ride in the back of as a kid has KO 522 - so all the more motivation for getting the buggy finished so they can be reunited after all these years apart. I am thinking of doing this one in the Paprika Red like the old one - It doesnt have the CB running gear, but I have a few chores ahead of me whilst I source those things - but am happy for it to get a baja style lift until I find some. Overall I am pretty happy with the rust situation- certainly not a hard fix. Will update with photos as it progresses, though I still have a Spider to finish before I am supposed to start with this (I say supposed, but you whilst I have the grinder out- shame not to use it) Cheers Peter

Thanks for the measurements, hopefully will have some more pics this week. I have finished painting the rally car so I can get back to tinkering with the buggy, have done a bit of welding and filling on the rear and am happy with its progress. What plans ya got for your buggy ???

CB Craig - which part of Brissie are you, my CB is in the Gabba would be great if you can post some pickies for all the voyuers out there.

Cheers

Yes I know, what the hell am I doing..

Well unfortunately (or fortunately) some bigger projects have came along and this one has to be sacificed. The buggy is obviously an unfinished project so best to give me a call if you are interested.

I paid $350 for the buggy with a good pan and front end and then bought the dash off ebay seperately $70 and then spent two hundred or so bucks on consumables, without the hours of stripping, welding filling etc. So would be seeking a firm $450.00 and may be able to assist with transport in Brissie.

Ideally I would like it moved before Monday as I fly out in Canada on Tuesday.

The buggy is located in the Gabba (Inner Sth Brisbane)

If interested, call on 0428 102102.

May god have pity on my soul.

Peter,
Sorry to hear you are selling your CB.

At least you had a quick sale.
