Thanks mate.
I thought there wasn't too many orange buggies getting around, so that's why I went orange. I think it's working out ok.

I've been fitting up the windscreen. I'll bolt it up properly once I can get the seal at the bottom to sit properly. It's getting closer now
although I took it for another quick test drive and the bloody thing pops out of first gear all the time. A decent IRS box and 1600 tp is now on my
shopping list. Anyone know of any late superbugs being wrecked??
Anyway here's a couple of pics....

Nice colour choice mate - suits it really well. All you manx owners must be able to get your engines out in 5 minutes flat! Even with a removable rear
apron, I get tired of sticking my arm behind the fan shroud and fiddling with the tight fit in a beetle engine bay!
Keep up the good work.

Thanks Anthiron, that would be good apart from it being on the other side of the country..
What I'll look for is a single side plate box over here if possible. I can afford to wait...
Yes Dasdubber, buggies are really easy for engine swaps. That motor (which I knew was knackered but didn't have another at the time) went in
literally in five minutes. A mate grabbed one side of the exhaust, I grabbed the other side and we chucked it in. My mate balanced it while I got the
four nuts done up finger tight. It's probably easier putting an engine in a buggy than changing the rear tyres.

It has a 3 inch body lift.
The tacho isn't waterproof, I'll have to minimise it's exposure to water otherwise I'll have to get another one off Ebay. I don't know why they
bother making tacho's that go to 11000 rpm. There isn't many street vehicles that would ever get close to that. I did like the other gauges that are
in the middle of the tach, that's why I bought it. I think that I will set the shift light to 4500rpm.

I got the same taco off ebay. You may want to set shift light a bit lower though as the gauges can be slightly slow on high performance engines.
4500rpm may light up closer to 5000rpm when under full pedal - they vary abit but are great value. :thumb

I'm on the lookout for a few bits for my Buggy. If you see these going cheap somewhere let me know;
VW engine rebuild kit (87mm barrels + pistons)
Aluminium IDF Weber Air Cleaners to suit VW
Centreline or BTR Wheels (15 x 7 rear, 15 x 4 front)
Tall skinny front tyres (MT Baja Pro's would be nice)
MT MTX rear tyres (31/10.5/15)
Heavy duty clutch to suit VW
KYB gas shocks for the front end

My 'new' orange and white speedo (which is now kmh).....
That will have to do for now. If some nice gauges come up on Ebay I might pick them up, it's not high on my priority list though.
