As promised Mark has sent me over some photos of his Manx 11 just back from the trimmers...
New hood from Whiffs Trimmings and the interior wrapped in luscious black carpet. The hood looks fab with the rear window being the NoFear eyes

Marks Manx II
Mark kindly sent me some photos of his recently completed ECM Manx II, Mark started off with a GP lwb buggy shortened to fit a shortened pan. After a nut and bolt restoration, the only thing used from the original build was the chassis, I'm sure you'll all agree he has built a fabulous buggy! Enjoy the photos!
Cool stance, rolling along on chrome modulars.. Red flake body from ECM
Brand new 1776cc motor, fully chromed and detailed with colour matching red accessories with the fumes being spat out through a pair of chrome cannons
Mark has also visited Whiffs trimming services and promised me a coupe of photos of the outcome..

Lack of Updates
Sorry to the people who have kindly visited this blog, but unfortunatly I have ran out of UK buggies to post any more.. if anything exciting happens I'll post it, but I guess this blog is going to rot!
A big thanks to all that have sent me details about their buggies, keep on buggying!
All the best
Barry

Ryans Sidewinder
Next up is Ryans Sidewinder, based on a '73 chassis. Ryan has recently finished it and got it through the MOT and is now all legal and on the road!
The interior features fibreglass buckets, grant wheel and a nice looking Berg signature series shifter. The chassis was superbly restored featuring Irs, take a look at the links to Ryans buggy on the other side of the page to see a few shots of his chassis build.
Slot mags in Chevy pattern front and rear, 7x14 up front and 8.5x15 on the rear, disc brakes up front with drums on the back.
Ryans Sidewinder is pushed along by a 1641cc motor with dual 36 dells, Engle 100 cam and ported and polished heads, coupled up to a Rancho pro-street box

Mark with his sweet Volksrod, well done mate!
(I think I have worked out Marks secret of keeping his buggy so shiney.. if you look closely at the above photo... he uses his socks to clean it!)
On the subject of Mark, he was trying out his new camera, he sent me a couple of his photos, a craking one of my buggy and an arty one!

Stephens Sidewinder
Back in early January Stephen sent me a couple of photos of buggy build, he'd just got the Beetle and separated it from the chassis, well, he has been busy..
Chassis Back from Mark at Flatlands and all assembled, to quote Stephen "it's too good to cover up!" and I agree!
A purple flaked Sidewinder shell from Mel at Manxbuggies.co.uk
A close up of the shell which looks cool in the photo, I imagine it would be amazing to see in the sunlight
