George's Cars

I just got off the phone with Ronan in RoCo, he is making good progress on the cage. It should be ready Monday or Tuesday. Looking forward to seeing it. He is hoping to send me a picture tomorrow but from the sounds of it, its going well.

for a few days anyways. I finally found someone who knows what they are talking about when it comes to roll cages. Its nice when the guy who is doing the work knows more that me and thats not hard cause I know fuck all, as ye all know at this stage. Ronan from RoCO [...]

Or lack of. The buggy has been a love hate relationship over the last few days. I got a bit of bad news last week about the roll cage and after that nothing seemed to go right. I must admit i did about 2 hours on Saturday morning and again things went against me so [...]

Well its offical, i’m not going to hit the current deadline. It looks like i have to do the cage so with that and the other jobs its just not going to happen. I haven’t set a new deadline but i will. I just need to find a show or something to aim for. I [...]

I do love my rear wheels but they are starting to really cause me headaches. Having said that changing them is not an option. I went to bring the buggy down to get a quote for a roll cage, yes another company, this one is local and hopefully they can do the job at a [...]

The mock up build continues. And finally a picture of my rear lights, this is the better side, the other side will need a little more before it gets to this stage. nothing a little bit of sanding won’t sort out

Unfortunately this is not mine but a body that Mel Hubbard did for one of his customers but its exactly what I’m going to have to do for the buggy. Looks good.

I got some work done on the buggy last night. It was one of those nights that could derail a project completely! Firstly I spend 2 hours fixing a problem that should not have been a problem and it felt I was going around in circles. I did get the chassis on all 4 wheels [...]
