I bought this lwb shell from Greenbean back in 2007 already
two days later i went and fetched the remains of HW1 that Pine gave away with some replacement rims for the accident damaged ones
picked up a pan at the local scrapyard that looked quite solid when i checked it from underneath,but that was only because there was plates welded onto the rusted floor

Looking good! Danie (who built the Kubel) helped with the wiring in HW1 many years ago, I'm glad some of it could be saved as he did an excellent job

Re: LCOP TT.............My buggy "build"
+1 on the Looking good! should be fun when it's done. If your kid is on it already then you will never get him off once it's done!
Buggyfan/Pine, any info on those wheels? my brother has a set without the centres and i was wondering where they from. I Know Jack used to use them on the Puma's at some stage...

Re: LCOP TT.............My buggy "build"
They were cast in South Africa, and were fitted to SA Pumas even before Jack Wijker got involved - this ad is from 1974. The first ones had 'squared-off' slots
I originally bought them from Phil (Phantomfondler) who had them on his Puma. IMPI had some repro center caps made
A few of the later Pumas had these on, with a smaller center cap and 'rounded' slots

it looks a little rough but im sure the 2nd try will come out better,will then use releasing agent instead of forcing it out of the mould with a screwdriver

Re: LCOP TT.............My buggy "build"
Today i unearthed the steering column and fixed it so that the hooter works of the centre button on the steering instead of the pushbutton that was located on the dash
