Did some work on the Buggy today.Removed the T-top and the after market flicker arm.
Then I took the flicker arm off a beetle icluding the ignition switch as the after market switch is rubbish.
Sorted the wiring and I took the clomn box out the Beetle too,but it needs a slight modification to make it fit.

Chris I am still not sure about the type of Buggy you have - it seems either Beamish or Salamander, although the rear looks more Beamish?

Anyway, it looks cool with or without the T-bar!

Chris this buggy looks very similar to the one of Airpower, think it's a "Lolette" or something like that.
Very nice though like it without the T. :hangloose:

It is definitely not a Beamish. They only have one mould. That's why all Beamish buggies are equally skew... If you parked them all next to each other, they would look like a long row of bananas spooning. :twisted:
