Buggyboy - December 15th, 2003 at 09:54 PM

Well here are some progress photos of my Country Buggy (#526- and on the register) Hopefully they will work- and am planning on having it back on the road sometime this week...

Here goes...

This is how it started, well it was a bit better but I wasnt quick enough with the camera..

Body seperated from pan at 123 Restore in Brissie for new heater channels and sides..


Buggyboy - December 15th, 2003 at 09:57 PM

New sides fabricated etc...


Buggyboy - December 15th, 2003 at 09:59 PM

The colour alternated between the beige and the paprika red numerous times, as can be seen with the another toy..

And this is how it sits at the moment, in the Paprika Red- done in 2pak. Had new windscreen fabricated recently and just have to finish off some minor things before it is back on the road. Though the list seems to be getter longer rather than shorter...

But I think it looks a bit better than when I got it...

Looking good.
This is one of 10 Country Buggies currently in various stages of restoration.
There is a resurgence at the moment.
Guys,
Get out to your shed and lets bring more of these vehciles back to life.
Watch this space for a 1:64 model Country Buggy in the next 6 months. Design is currently being finalised.production is likely from mid next year.
It will be a very limited run of maximum 250 DIECAST MODELS coming out from a European manufacturer.
