Hi All,
Well I have been trying to get a VW thing for ages now and have had no luck. There don't seem to be very many down here in Australia. So I had to settle for the Australian version which is a Country Buggy. I just picked one of these up and am looking at a rebuild.
Ain't she pretty
It is missing the Country Buggy running gear though so I am after some Thing spindles and arms to build a new one, can anyone out there help me ??
Brad that is going to be a very cool VW. I can see it sitting up in the air with big tires and wheels.
I see a lot od thing front beam parts for sale on the buggy trader www.Dune-Buggy.com Do you still have your Buggy? Post your website for those who hav`nt been there. Thanks and good luck. PS tell Wes we say HI
Yep I still have my Buggies, the V6 Conversion is planned for Christmas early next year.
Wes and I are doing well, his V6 Baja is almost 100% sorted and ready for the climate control upgrade.
My plans for this little babby are as a work ute. It will get some 215 x 75 x 15 fronts and 31 x 10.5 x 15 rears. A type 181 front end I am getting off one of the good guys on here and an IRS rear end with type 2 transmission. Have selected a 2L Nissan engine to keep the power up and tow all my crap around.
One day I hope to find a real thing but until then I will have to make do with the Boxy Aussie version.
