Cool looking buggy project ya got there! Great to see the old ones being brought back to life instaed of being left in the fields to shrink up and go to waste.

If you don't already know, that is a Fiber Fab Clodhopper body. Pics of mine are here - http://www.manxgallery.org/gallery/Toms-Fiber-Fab Mine was in slightly better shape body wise, but the rest was a basket case. Have fun & keep us updated. Tom

Thanks! It took a few years and several "make overs" to get to that point, but keep at it and make yourself proud. My problem now it that I have 2 buggies to keep going, and when the wife's car needs work, you can guess who wins. Tom
