my god a buggy with an Lbug screen that looks good

slammed with some 17" chromies and 40 series tyres would look hot

I feel compelled to say, well done and congrats...

You've done a good job of following some of the Manx's classic lines, whilst making it all look more fluid and individual.

I was unsure about the durability of the tilt front at first, but on second thought, I reckon it will prove to be quite a good bit of engineering in actual hard use. It allows the whole body more give and flexability.

Time to take it down the sand pit and thrash the living shit out of it for a while... Then let us all know how she held up.

also the separate front is easy to replace if smashed. 😉

You've got a good eye. Unfortunately they didn't get installed in time for the photo shoot.

Besides, it's the sunshine state 🙂

Before you judge someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you judge them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
