The buggy has been sitting in the garage for the last few months, there was a few problems with her, most of which now have been solved.

The first problem was the suspension, it was too low and the tyres where scrubbing on the wings, the dropped spindles where removed and replaced with the standard one. Now there is plenty of clearance but now there is another problem, the tyres on the front wheels look miserable, i have larger profile ones in the garage so when i’m getting the car tracked i’ll put the larger profile tyres back on.

Next problem was the carburettor, it wasn’t running right, it was fine when going flat out but she wouldn’t idle properly, i cleaned the carb and gave the idle jet a good cleaning, seems to be running fine now.

Last problem, which i haven’t fixed yet is the indicators, they are shorting out someplace and melting my flasher unit.I don’t know whats causing this but i’ll look into it. Can’t be anything major except a short someplace.

I brought her for a spin afterwards, not too far about a 20 mile run, man its cold driving a beach buggy in this weather!!!
