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!

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

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.

Cheers for the photos Ryan, I'm sure you'll enjoy using your fab buggy!

Deva Dubs & Rods

The sun was out and cracking the flags and out came the buggies!
After a fab cruise down to Shrewsbury I pulled into the showground and was greeted by buggies! woot!

The photos I took are below.. and once again I slacked and only used my phone to take them.. anyways enjoy!

and the winner is....

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!

Was a great day down at Shrewsbury, roll on the next show!

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

Rear rims and rubber delivered, fronts will be on there way soon!

Thanks again for the photos Stephen, hopefully the completed photos will arrive in my email box soon!

Mini Manx Build continues..

Angelo sent me a few pics of His Mini Manx project
The sit on lawn mower has been collected and stripped down to the bare essentials



The shell is seen here sitting on the chassis, now he can get and idea of what he has to cut etc.



The wheels look perfect sizewise I'm sure you'll agree, Angelo informs me the next job is to shorten the chassis a touch and to get the shell sitting a little lower



You can see the customer trying out his new buggy, I think he is happy with the progress so far =)
