Bit more progress, tuned the drive train, bonnet lowered, wheel covers with VW hub caps. Head lights that turn with the steering, smaller nurf bar and fitted the fold down windscreens from the buggy, see above.

Thanks I'm going with a truck bed rear end, won't be for a while going to drive her around as is sort out some bugs in the drive train get her reliable then get into some more details

Thanks Horsefarmer, the remoteness has been a blessing during CO19! After a couple of big sessions we have a drive train and it works! As I have stated have been concerned about the weight with the buggy body. Story within itself scored a bonnet locally in great condition, so now we have a...

Whooohooo we have some progress, control as in steering in, also revisited the front end. Was going to have a rigid front end but thought what the heck, had the bits so went with suspension, see how she goes, if work out couple of bolts and she goes back to a solid set up! So you can steer her...

So after a couple of big days finally got the rear end sorted, originally had the drive wheels out beyond the body. Revised this, they now sit nicely in the space where the VW engine would have sat. So in a sense have the motor where it should be! Next sort out the chin drive, plan is to have...

That thing is the "ducks nuts!"

Got this one done and dusted.

As with us all no work so into various projects at home, been a VW fan for years, had both 1960 and 64 split window Kombis also an ex Australian Army nine seater Kombi, wish I'd kept one of them worth a Kings ransom these days! Time has flown, ten years ago nearly I saved this old J & S buggy...

Thanks mate.

Do we post finished bikes here or start a new individual thread, been away for a bit and a little confused, confused in general with the current life and times!?

Done, calling her the One-Day-Wonder as she was done in a day, bars, banana seat with sissy bar, front fender greased the bearings and she's done. Nice to ride even without the chain oiled, may add front brakes, see how I feel before the deadline. Got the motor scooter done as well ready for...

Thanks Andy I'm in with this little rocket I pulled off the scrap pile, yep she was a throw out cost zippo! Check out those apes, man your fingers would be getting frost bite with them up that high in the sky! "One person's trash another treasure," Planing on keeping her quick and simple...

After a bit of a hiatus have decided to jump in, bit confused, (all the time if I'm honest) do I post pic's here or start a new thread of my build? Thank you............

Been away from bikes a while now, until I recently scored this year 2000 Suzuki GZ250. When I got her not running, broken clutch cable, rusted out exhaust, no tail lights or fenders and not a of the purple tank! How she sits now, got her running nice, lights up, fenders and paint, just...

Man that is so cool, super well done!

An old not so good but interesting shot of where I get some of my bike bits.

Merry Christmas everyone, been out of the loop but still lurking bike wise, still building stuff like a couple of tributes to my beloved Volkswagon. VW shrine made from some bits I have collected over the years, been stashed in a box finally got my act together and made a sort of si-fi VW...

Been off bike construction of late, been riding a lot but not much building, still lurking here a bit. Found these great images, bike graveyards that are to be honest art! https://www.theguardian.com/cities/gallery/2018/may/01/unexpected-beauty-china-bicycle-graveyards-share-bikes-in-pictures

Thanks folks, are they ever finished well this one maybe!

So talk to me scrambler, is that a dyno hub as in the two small nuts in the centre of the hub are power supply connections, is that what you are saying? I have another question re this hub, it has a small filler obviously for filling with oil, so what type of oil and do you fill it till it...
