Hi everyone, just thought I would post a few pics of my buggy project here in the UK, still got a long way to go but the project is going well so far, without too many major issues (those will come when I try to get it registered for road use). The buggy has been designed by myself (and a good bit of CAD software) and is powered by a suzuki swift engine and box, I am almost at the rolling chassis stage - just finishing off the rear suspension now, and hope to have it on its wheels by mid to late October.
Anyway I have a LOT of build pics over on my build site but here are a few to get you started :-
Day 1 200 feet of 1.25" (32mm if your in the UK) 2mm wall ERW tube - it dosent look much once its chopped up!
Majority of chassis parts bent to correct angle with the homemade tube bender:-
Start of the lower chassis section:-
Chassis main roll over bar and rear cage:-
Chassis midsection and upper roll cage:-
Chassis Upper section in place - starting to look right :-
chassis with diagonals and engine mounts in place (and a bit of undercoat):-
Chassis is a little further on currently as I'm fabricating and mounting up the rear A arms, I will post more shots soon if anyone is interested
