A video introduction and a bit more information

Bub - a video introduction



A bit more information on what I'm planning ... note: this may change
  • in no specific order
    • large tyres to increase ground clearance
    • adjust the wings to cope with the wider, bigger tyres
    • lift the rear suspension by a huge amount to make the car run level
    • cut the back off, Baja style to improve entry/exit angles
    • possibly trim the front as well
    • fit a roll cage
    • fit a bigger engine
  • Before that 
    • strip back bubbling paint and rust treat
    • repaint rusty areas with silver smoothrite (I am not changing how it looks)
    • dismantle all suspension, running gear, brakes etc and
      • replace if necessary
      • strip clean and paint
      • replace all rubber bushes, pipes, hoses
In the mix of ideas are
  • swap the front of the chassis to carry a 'beam' front axle to remove the entire front and
    • fit a 'full tilt front'
    • beer keg fuel tank (from a previous buggy)
    • make it look mental
  • fit a 2027cc long stroke engine making 3 times as much power and torque as standard on a camper van gearbox
  • fit an 1800cc engine on a standard gearbox
  • fit a supercharger 
  • steal an old Porsche turbo engine and fit that
and so on .....
