Gearbox rebuilt with new dog gears, due to it jumping out of gear when the engine was in the bike.

All back together and fitted in the frame.

 

Welcome back!

Love this build, great attention to detail.

 

That looks great!

Random question regarding the rear hubs - are they just plain old subaru hubs, that you've essentially converted to double wishbone (like the 518 Racing kits)?

 

Cheers mate! 👍🏻

 

Cheers, yes I’ve just converted them mate, I haven’t seen those kits.

 

What a thread

 

Exhaust manifold fitted and wrapped. 👌🏻

This is getting exciting now😁

 

Cheers mate👍🏻

 

Work of Art. Fantastic.

 

Another update guys, I’ve had a lot of time on my hands as you can imagine.




I’ve plugged and converted the rear hubs to 4 stud to
match the fronts.










Driveshafts adapted, re-greased and painted.




New discs and pads on the rear with new wheel bearings.

 

Front hubs fitted.





I set myself up, and rebuilt the front callipers. ☀️




Pedal box assembled and fitted.








Fuel tank......DONE!!! ✅ It’s taken me a couple of attempts to be honest, but I’ve managed to get it spot on, all pressure tested, no leaks I’m really pleased with it.

 

Carbs fully stripped, cleaned and rebuilt with Dyno Jet adjustable float needles, and larger main jets.
Modified air box and BMC air filter fitted.

 

New chain and a smaller front sprocket.

 

Rear bulkhead panels.

 

Cheers Mate👍🏻

 

Fantastic build mate

 

Cheers dude👍🏻

 

I love the build very impressive , but what I love more is the use of Unistrut ……. EVERY WHERE im guessing your a pipe fitter/ Welder

 

Rentonone what’s your background mate? The average joe couldn’t do this if you get me and it’s very impressive what you are doing, you should be looking for a cure for the coronavirus 👍

 

😂 Cheers mate👍🏻

I fitted a lawn mower engine to the back of my pedal go-kart when I was 12, and it pretty much spiralled from there, I was forever tatting with motorbikes and quads, fitting bigger engines.
About 20 years ago I worked at a Jaguar specialist and did a City and Guilds level 1 2 3 in Mechanics.
I eventually got bored, I’m now a Ventilation Engineer, but I will always have a project of some kind, I love building one off contraptions to keep me excited😁

 

😂Mate, I do use it for pretty much everything, it’s like meccano, so handy👌🏻

 

Mental! I want one

 

Good afternoon guys, I hope you’re keeping safe.

Another update here!!

I fancied a proper fibreglass bonnet for the buggy, instead of just alloy panels.
So I made a replica of what I wanted out of wood and filler, I then made a mold from it and produced the bonnet.

 

It turned out better than I thought.

 

Brakes all plumbed in👌🏻

 

Nice!!!!

 

cool, you gonna strap beef to the roof for mapping? lol

 

Still love this.

 

Seat fitted, with a few holes cut and swaged.

 

Cheers guys👍🏻
