Good day all

The name is Renier de Villiers, currently 21 years old. Young you must be thinking but i have a lot of experience under the hood, diff, gearbox and wheels of a car.

From a young age, as far as I can remember I use to help my dad with all his cars, he was a drag racer, and from his first car a VW pipe car, with a heavelly tuned 411 motor, it was in my blood to also build up cars.

Two years ago I bought a Pipe Car, and it all started, I just love aircooled motors, for its simplicity! and outstanding ability to last even while driving it hard.

So the beginning of the year i bought a beach buggy, pan was rusted out, but it was complete, except for the motor, for only R1000.

Stripped the whole thing, got a very good second hand pan and shortened it to correct size, reconditioned all the brakes and done some other minor things!

So i Will keep you updated, but this is my story!

Thanks for all the advice.
