Or windows?

JaySTee · 02-23-2011, 09:23 AM

Yeah I did feel a bit vulnerable passing lorries - the buggy in general was a bit lacking in safety features

dxb335d · 02-23-2011, 10:38 AM

That looks pretty wacky Jay, whats the story behind it?

JaySTee · 02-23-2011, 11:00 AM

It is a short wheel base VW Beach buggy which I built in 2004. Basically you take an old beetle, take the body off the floorpan/chassis and throw it away. Shorten the chassis by 15 inches. Fix any rust, recon/replace any other parts required. Buy a GRP buggy shell and bolt it on and get it MOT'd.

I was (still am just don't have any) quite into aircooled VW's. This was my second buggy. Also have had a couple of Beetles and a Type 2 Splitscreen singlecab pick up. They are fun, fairly cheap and easy to take to bits.

dxb335d · 02-23-2011, 11:05 AM

Pretty cool mate, was there like a guide to follow to do it yourself?

JaySTee · 02-23-2011, 11:17 AM

Yeah, there is a lot of info on the interweb, that and a VW Beetle haynes manual... I think it may be harder to registger them now - we used to get away with sending the V5 off to get the body type altered and then MOT it thus avoiding the SVA/IVA test that most kit cars have to do. Pretty sure they have tightened this up now and you may have to get it through the IVA test...

dxb335d · 02-23-2011, 11:34 AM

So there are plenty of these things floating about then?

JaySTee · 02-24-2011, 05:30 AM

There are quite a few around but they vary in build quality and looks greatly. They were popular in the 70's and had a bit of a resurgance a few years ago. There are still a few people around moulding the bodies. Forum HERE if you want to read up / see pics.

Also a vid HERE of a tube chassis buggy with a 2276 VW based stroker engine pulling a wheelie

ChrisE91 · 04-01-2011, 12:29 PM

One of me in my weekend get up...

Another a little more normal. But I don't where glasses now

dxb335d · 04-01-2011, 12:53 PM

How long were you inside for ?!

ChrisE91 · 04-01-2011, 02:52 PM

Not long enough

mowflow · 04-11-2011, 06:35 AM

Here's my ugly mug.

First is my game face at last years Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Open comp. Face looks a bit weird as I've got a gum shield in and I got that mong ear drained since then.

Second is me dislocating a guys shoulder in my first match on my way to silver in my weight division.

Last is younger, heavier me and the wife at our wedding 3 years ago. I'm the one in the skirt carrying the flowers

Em135eye · 04-11-2011, 06:42 AM

Another E90 post ninja! Cool!

Competed in a fair few National events but kickboxing. Always thought about Jiu Jitsu but could never find a decent club. Briefly 4th for my weight (middle) nationally but can't find any good clubs down here (this was all in Bristol). Dammit.

You Sccoooortussh then? I have a Scots surname but it's from a few generations back.

mowflow · 04-11-2011, 07:07 AM

Sure am Scottish but this was only the second time I wore a kilt. The other being my sisters wedding. I don't find them very comfortable.

I love a good scrap. Started with kung fu when I was young but realised it was a load of shit so started doing Muay thai about 14 years ago. Had a couple of fights, won some, lost some but decided to give up the fighting before getting married (my wife threatened to batter me if I had any facial marks for the wedding). Turned out It left a big hole in my life so I started BJJ thinking it would be less brutal, I was wrong. Trouble is that the gym I train out of has one of the biggest MMA teams in the country with a lot of pro/full time fighters. This means a lot of kickings for me..... I love it though.

Em135eye · 04-11-2011, 07:37 AM

Well I used to be quite bright until I took up MA stuff...! Convinced it knocked most of my brain cells out...

Sounds like fun up your way - I do miss it and only get to abuse a heavy bag a few times a week now. Just not the same.

Brennan · 04-22-2011, 05:36 AM
