Re: LCOP TT.............My buggy "build"
nothing wrong there with your eyes,the 1 is square and the other 3 are rounded
Well seeing that the pan i had was very vrot ,I bought a complete baja minus engine from an ex forum member [luke].
stripped the baja there in his yard and only took what i needed or could resell again
the pan was in a good condition with just a rust hole under the battery area the size of a r5 coin
removed all the tarboard from the floors and the youngest was more than willing to lend a hand
As the shell was already green i decided to spray the chassis hammerite green on top

Re: LCOP TT.............My buggy "build"
Greenbean supplied me with a set of highback fibreglass seats all i had to do was modify beetle seat bases to make the work
checking for clearance above my head so that im not higher than the rollbar or windshieldframe
after driving it for a while now ,ive realised that the seats are too far laid back ,i have to drive with my arms nearly fully extended so next on the to do list will be to lift the rear of the seats to more of an upright driving position

Re: LCOP TT.............My buggy "build"
Ok,heres the plan ,im going to cut the rear seating area out of the buggy and replace it with a beetle rear section
so that i can get my back seats more forward and lower inside the car .
this is how it sits currently
im trying to get this effect
or do something like this ,

Re: LCOP TT.............My buggy "build"
And the cutting has begun
started with his
the rear profile of the buggy and a beetle is too different so i had to trim it some more
the 1st cut is always the hardest to make,but once that grinder started cutting ,theresb no more turning back now
