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.

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.

Update
After the changes I made
T-top off and roll bar fitted
Bullbar trimmed on the edges so that it's inline with the wheels (thanks Bob)
Adjustable coil overs fitted (Thanks VDub Bulli)
Seats recovered (Thanks Zeelie)
Steering fitted with new secondhand Beetle steering colomn
