VW Buggy

I'm with you on that one, I'm thinking Mazda MX-5 engine and box ???

If you get fed up with it I have £201 here so you'd make a profit

 

[Baloo]

will put you first on the list then lol

Looks like a Robin Hood so they are not as popular

yep carpet tiles they were 30p each off ebay, keeps the noise in and the cold out , put them up with a nail gun couple of hours at most

 

[Baloo]

so how much do we think an mx5 engine and box for the lo cost is going to be ?

That's an auto by looking at the stick, but under £200 I would have thought, lots of them die of tin worm

 

[Baloo]

I think there's only room for two pedals in the lo-cost
So auto is fine by me lol

 

[Baloo]

there seems to be a few folk putting the jaguar 3lt V6 into locosts over on their forum 250 hp , h,mmm

 

[Baloo]

anyway back to the buggy V5 auto it is, golf stripped and gone





I also liberated the steering column since I still cant find the original one I had

 

[Baloo]

I also stripped the vw 2.8 V6 4 motion passat (audi engine) that was outside to make a bit more space, this is for a longer term project where I want to mid mount it to build a sand rail

the seats in the golf looked to good to weigh in so I half inched them too
I can cut off the iron work underneath and get them down nice and low
they are narrower than the plastic ones I was intending on using, which is good

 

[Baloo]

well I now have a working brake pedal and the steering column is mounted but I lost my camera some where in the workshop so you will just have to imagine that bit lol

 

[Baloo]

well I now have a working steering column









slides in and out 9" and goes from resting on the seat to vertical like a model T ford although not sure what benefit that is lol
