Yes Andrew ...well done! WE came to your place early last year and had a look and listen. Awesome vehicle. It will be good to have another Buggy in
the CQ area to come driving with us. Usually Matthew (my son ea81 Supasports) leads but I don't think that will be the case from now on!!

ay, but having an EJ20 motor conversion, you could shorten a pan today and get it registed with no touble as an ICV. hmm, there is a chance of me
having a juicy-engined swb buggy.
How was it to get complianced and all (the engine conversion that is). Easy? Difficult?
:P
Got me thinking now.

here are some photo`s of reg`d buggy
rwc man never looked twice at it (i thought he might be worried about power to weight or previous rego forms which i didn`t have)
he just done his mod plate for engine conversion and disc brakes
he accepted the 8 year old mod plate on the car for chassie shortening as proof of previous rego
main roads were happy with his rwc mod forms and gave me my no. plates abd rego sticker without even looking at it

so far no overheating problems
i live 25k`s out of town so do a lot of highway type driving
most times when i pull up the fans are not even running
i do hear them cut in for a couple of minutes now and then and this was in 40 degree heat over xmass
i`m getting to much heat coming back into the cab when the fans are not sucking
i will block this off (i have it open under my rear parcel shelf so my 6 inch ducts from the side vents face the radiator)
but ,,, i haven`t tested it being driven hard on the beach yet... so we`ll see
seagull very nice work

they are a beard super seat
some guy on the off road racing forum was selling a new one cheap because he got seat sponsorship from someone else
i then found out the price of the second seat (aprox 800)
so i pulled the original apart made a frame and had a trimmer mate of mine upholster it
i also narrowed both by 25mm so they fitted on the floor between tunnel and body
see why it took me so long to finish......
