    Built this in the 70's and got £500 when I sold it.
    Based on 1959 Beetle chassis..
    It was an LDV from G.P. Speed Shop Isleworth Middx
    Put a 1600 TL engine in it and would lose Ford Capris.
    I dropped the rear spline a full notch and it stuck to the road like a leech.
    Wolfies on the the rear with Jag XJS tyres and type 3 165x15's on the front end.

  9. A friend at school built something very similar. Did you have to cut a V out of the floorplan?

    No mine was a long wheelbase.
    Most "true" buggys had about a foot cut out of the chassis, therefore you had the pain of altering cable lengths etc.
    Also they were a bit twitchy on the road..
    Mine didn't have a lot of clearance so wasn't really suitable for dune hopping.

  12. Looked at the pic again, saw it was a long wheelbase. The shorter ones looked better, IMHO. My mate drove his into a fence :rolleyes:
