im finally getting somewhere ....

new back breaks and nice feeling pedal but not driven it yet and a mk 1 gp bonnet and screen ...

tis about time you pulled ya finger out and stopped mincing around and got some work done on it

good on yer fella, what's left to do on it?????

everything

Well done mate,that looks loads better than how you described your progress yesterday.
Be done in no time

well done chick

cheers . did a lot of prep last night and had a good day on it today . still lots to fiddle with , its all in my hall again now but hopin to pick crumb up from school tomorrow in it if it drive ok once back together . ps the screen is a tiny bit less slopey once bolted up and looks better imo than the pic . .

cant decide if i should put bonnet pins at the front of leave it plane . pins would make life easier but i dont no . any thoughts

i like pins but dont they end up marking the bonet

i dont fink marks will be a problem . there plenty already

ha ha was going to ask is that the light on yhe bonet in the pic or has it been rubbed down

ye it was like that when i picked it up . iv moved to hole for fuel goes and primed it but needs all the fiber glass cracks digging out realy but that a job for somewhen els . just want to get it black for now

i saw this at the house in the tree last summer thought it looked good why so much work mate. or putting things the way you want them

mainly the windscreen is/was miss shaped and i hate it . always wanted a mk 1 windscreen anyway so 2 birds with one stone . it ant been to bad tbo compared to what others are doing its just been bizzy as iv normally got no where to work so taken the chance well iv got it . its still aint strait but i think i no why . theres alway something to do with um aint there but i do as much as a can in a week once a year it feels like . im quite please with this new screen though and iv got breaks now . but wilst doing it iv corsed another 10 problems iv had to sort along the way

ps this was it when i picked it up about 2 years ago

you done a fair bit painted beam seat covering and spray job looks better in black

new seats but hopefully have some proper buggy ones on the way at the rite price . ye tyers . lowered and painted twice cuz the first time the paint never when hard after a year i tried again still not the best but look ok as i drive past . have a 1641 on the way with a bit of luck . fluffed all the interior to cover lost a grubby bits . tis getting there . keep losing enfuseasum and wantin to sell it but spos il have it for another year even if it only out the shed twice

you need to drive it bit more keep enthusiasm (spelling) up bit hard with british weather i no

ye its a pain . if it was close id get it out alot more but time it takes to go and get it its normaly rainin by the time a get there

lookin cool mate! cant beat a good buggy in my opinion! like the body u have on yours the best

ye defo best body by far have seen some dodgy variations

cheers ye i reckon the mk2 gp with side pods as i fink its a bit wider than the mk 1 but with the mk1 one bonnet and screen . i have what a would pic in a perfict world but mines a bit shabby , still i quite like it

yea definatly, will be cool, nice not to have a minter though, more likely to want to use it as intended

well iv got to get the fucker to fit now as iv just sold my old bonet to a chap in totness i got some pins but im not sure i like um . the bonnet is now black and half way through flating down should be ready for next summer
