Too severe for your pocket rockets...not gonna make it far at all

The Bare essentials ey mate?? (another driver to andrew in the buggy)

yes was a fun day. and some good pix there dave. mine will go up later. its hard to tell from the photo but where wackybug got stuck in the bog hole- it was very sloshy and wet- just looks like hard ground from here- not the case! haha

damage report:
Wackybug- radiator surround dents and lots of dried mud in fins.
cracks starting to appear in seam welds- needs bracing.
Flutterwgn - radius rod plate coming away from chassis. needs welding or captive nuts will start to come out.
lack of rear locker haha

wackybug ready for action

thats why they call it the powerlines

even the bashplate is sexy

stuck in a rut. finally something has stopped the bug.

not reallly much car left. you can see straight thru it.

minor wiring probs

special "speckled obsidion black" paintjob

bugspray.

no i dont think so- if youre talking about when my gbox xmember bolt fell out in the sand dunes and matatak found it- its been getting worse, until today which has now separated it from the chassis. all the captive nuts are good tho- they havent shagged out yet.

A couple videos are in here

you want to cut it by 600mm then weld back together ,weld rear diff. dual hand brakes. that what i did to mine. Then repowed with EA82T.

AndrewT · Post by **AndrewT** » Wed Dec 19, 2007 3:01 pm

Im thinking of shortening it yes but not just yet.
It's in the process of being re-powered with an EJ22 as we speak (check the other thread in the My Car section).
It's also got a welded diff waiting to be fitted.
Dunno about the dual handbrakes....matt did that and it didnt help alot
