so with the kango (aka rain dance maggie) pretty much finished except for a few more things, i decided to turn my attention to the sad looking salamander buggy lying outside that i bought a few months ago, thing is i needed a donor car and i couldnt bring myself to chop up a beetle to build her so i looked around and found this buggy thats running and has current licence and all paperwork up to date as a donor car ill post pics as i go cant wait to get started on it
