Managed to get some more done on the buggy over the last couple of weeks, here are a few pics of the new pulley cover (now painted gloss black) and the rear wheel arch brackets completed with one of the wheel arches fitted and finished complete with carbon wrap and rubber edging fitted! Pulley cover:- ![]() ![]() ![]() the rear wheel arch brackets:- ![]() ![]() Brackets are mostly 25mm x 5mm thick bar with the edges rounded to 2.5mm radius, with a couple of 8mm Rivnuts in the top edge to allow the arch to bolt on The finished drivers side wheel arch:- ![]() ![]() ![]() Still need to fit the reflectors to the back of the rear arches (need to find some too) Ive also built the front wheel arch brackets now but not taken any photos yet! - will post some more shots once ive painted and fitted the front brackets and arches! |

Hi All, many thanks for the comments everyone - been busy again finished off all the wheel arches edged them all and added a layer of underseal to the glass underside of each one, I also finished off all the rewiring of the rear end and re-fitted all the braking components paying special attention to the balance bar setup. anyway here are a few pics, the alloy thing sat on top of the spare wheel on the roof is the rear under guard which I have not re-fitted ![]() ![]() just got to do all the fluids to sort, and finish off putting the fuse box and electrics back together which is almost there now then i can fire her back up and and take her for a test run!! |

Now, please tell me you don't plan on driving it on any dirt roads or in any rain or generally bad weather. It is so clean and beautiful, it would be a shame if it got dirty. |

Wait! Isn't the whole reason to have a buggy is to get it dirty??? I agree that it's a BEAUTIFUL project but think how glorious it will be when it has stories to tell that are as grand as the finish work! |

<<< Over there where it says "facetious educated donkey"*ChaosMS lives in England which is notorious for it's rain and cold weather. Kinda like Oregon where; 'If you don't drive in rain... you don't drive.' *Facetious: 'Jocular in an often clumsy and inappropriate manner'; educated=smart, donkey=ass. |
