As the title suggests.

Thanks

Can you still buy new manx style bodies ?

Mostly yes the Kalita is the same spec pan as the Manx.

I have seen one Kalita which was 2" shorter but I reckon it had been dicked with by a previous owner

i was thinking about the manx style bodies from beach buggy australia. if the katalita buggy co9uld be regoed, im aussuming a body swap would be ok.... because its only the chassis thats the issue..

Rego is a state of mind

bba closed? i rang them today and he answered the phone and told me the shell is $2400... weird....

rego a "state of mind"... how do you mean.... are you saying that "there are ways" to get the shell onto a katalita buggy and have it regoed?

Interesting, oh well just shows what people who talk to me know.

Your right buy a Buggy with full rego or there is no way of getting it rego'd as per the current rules and bulletin 35 of May 2001.

ive been told that even though the short wheel base pans of the katlita are close to the manx, that it would still be a mission to get the body swap done because it was regoed as a katalita not a manx... can anyone confirm this?
