Hey guys I was talking to a guy the other day who has the mould for a Manx Style SWB Buggy. Anyway he was thinking of getting some bodies made so I thought I would see if there was any interest in them ?
Could be good for people wanting to put a new Manx Style Body on their pan.
No idea of cost at this stage will see what the guy comes up with if their in any interest.

If the price was on par with the market i would be interested.
At this stage I will be looking at getting bare bodies in plain old white and people can just paint them what colour they want.
Looking at getting them as cheap as possible so people can get them on the road cheap ..
Have left a message with the Fibreglass guy, just waiting for a response.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$????????ballpark im in although they called the j&s "manx style" n imo its an ugly beast so a few pics of the thing wouldnt go astray somthin akin to the manxster😍

When I say manx style I mean looks exactly like a manx but isn't authentic. So I could call it a manx cloneif you like.
No idea on $$$$ till I talk to the Fibreglass guy ..

Does the $2200 include a bonnet? Or it $2200 for the tub only?
Desert Moose ·
If your interested in one and you live anywhere near Custom Off Road, give brad a call so we can get some sort of numbers for shipping.
What I was talking about for that price is
Body
dash
bonnet
I can also do a at a cost
roof
Dash spreader
windscreen
Rollbar
I can't do side pods
if you live in WA ring me and tell me your from AVD 🙂
Those Hoppa buggies Look bloody awesome on that web site. Would luv one of those, cause the sides and back and head rests with the twin hoop roll bars look mad ass. From the back, reminds me of a Peugeot. Don' t really think much of the front though, but i reckon a lil' craftsman ship I could dress it up some how.
Just need the buks. But beautiful buggy, Luv it. 🙂

How about LWB bodies, anyone pumping them out around that price? New buggy regos would dead set boom. clarkey.

Looks cheaper than filling holes and repainting....

How much would i cost to refurbish a body?
Dub-Buggier ·
OK here is a thought .....
a custom offroad shortened chassie and one of these bodies should be 3/4 the way to a buggy legeslation wise correct??? short of engine concerns these to together should be able to be paper wise certifiable..
