Offroad racer...
Juggling too many projects has delayed the buggy build, but it is slowly nearing completion.
This is how I bought it off Boostcruising from memory ..
I have installed a Subie EA81, new turning brakes, master cylinder, radiator is out of a Fiat 124CC that I had left over. New barwork, glass seats
from Manx buggies
I still have to plumb up the hoses and run a fuel pump, mount the seats etc but it is getting closer - the wife just wants her garage back - she
accepted that the Country Buggy could stay in the garage but isnt overly impressed leaving her new 4WD out the the driveway, for the offroader ... she
will come round..
I used to have formula vee's back before that day, and I liken this to those but with the benefit of a two seater.
Cheers
