yasdnil01 - October 8th, 2016 at 04:21 PM

Thought i'd start to reproduce the old type 1 factory sump guard same as country buggy guards
was going to fabricate up few for myself just wanting to know if anyone else would be wanting one ?
easy to make 15 - 20 at the same time.
if any one was interested just reply

Guy in feebay has a listing for an original guard for $250
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/VW-Country-buggy-factory-engine-protection-cage-/1...

I'd say i could knock them out for under the $100 mark
I'm thinking more like 80 bucks each

put me down for 1


yasdnil01 - October 9th, 2016 at 09:15 PM

Craig Torrens - October 10th, 2016 at 06:13 PM

if you can do them for around the $80 mark then put me down for one too


yasdnil01 - October 10th, 2016 at 06:49 PM

yasdnil01 - October 12th, 2016 at 05:53 AM

I was just about to borrow one and make my own but it is a lot easier to make a dozen or more ,so put me down for one, and maybe you should post this on the Country Buggy page ,if a lot of buggy followers are like me they only look at the other pages occasionally.


yasdnil01 - October 17th, 2016 at 06:30 AM

6 so far

I had been hunting around for these some time ago as getting OG ones from the states cost more in shipping then item was worth.
Just today I cane across this thread in a google search!
Great Job yasdnil01! I would be keen to get one myself if any are left
