Oh yeah, some day #BadManxBuggy wants to make the trip and enjoy the show.

I have been busy putting the last few major pieces back together, cleaned up the engine, put the baja bumper back together and started fitting it last night. Should have that done by the end of the day. After that, reinstalling the side pods, the rear tires… check it over and take for the first spin since 2015…

Fabricating some backing plates for the roll bar to help support the roll bar, on the fiber glass body.

All the little things that take the time… but you can’t rush #Perfection lol…. Unpolished, they still need to be shinny…

Can’t wait, it has been a long time since I’ve felt the engine roar and the wind in my hair.

Cheers,

Well, I’m going to miss the deadline, this year…

But, this is what I got done, before I had to go back to work.

  • Finished drilling the holes for the seats
  • Picked up Stainless Steel bolts, for the people that look under the floor pan
  • Tune up the engine, new plugs, distributor cap, rotor and wires… I did have a new set of points but the connection to the condenser was wrong and no pin in the mounting bracket… I have to follow up with #CaliforniaImports dot CA
  • Checked the heads and the oil flow to the rockers and installed new rocker cover gaskets… think it’s still going to drip oil??? Oh hell yeah!

And for your viewing pleasure, some pictures…. Hey, give me a break, at least it’s not food…. 😉 #FaceBitch

Nice red wires this time, for a little pop!

Maybe next year, #BadManxBuggy will be able to attend the show…

Okay, enough dreaming, I spent the day painting some of the finishing parts for the front #baja bumper and mocking up the seats. Since, we installed new floor panels, I will need to level them up and make sure they are straight in the buggy. (Measure twice and drill once)Here are a few work in progress shots for your viewing pleasure…Cheers for tonight, time for a shot of single malt scotch#BadManxBuggy Bri @ http://www.BadManxBuggy.com
