Die hoeveelheid hardner wat jy by sit is belangrik te flou en dit sal net set nie en teveel sal die goed laat kook

Gentlemen, we can rebuild him.
We have the technology.
We have the capability to make the world's first bionic man.
Piesang will be that man.
Better than he was before.
Better... stronger... faster.

Sterkte met daai buggy!

Hey that looks like Jeremiah!

He was a bullfrog, and a good friend of mine...

Ok so die plastiek voet werk nie so lekker nie, maak my meer verstruurd as iets anders, so ek het nie veel gedoen nie.

Waarby ek wel uit gekom het was die bestuurders sitplek. Dit was op 'n raam wat nie kon verstel en was in 'n vooroor posiesie wat baie ongemaklik vir bestuur was.



ek het by die scrap yard 'n ou sitplek gekry, geen iedee uit wat se kar dit kom en als weg gestrip tot ek net die twee runners oor het en gelukkeg was daar so paar ou offcuts 20x20 en 25x25 wat by die huis rond gele het



en met my bietjie welding vaardigheid dink ek nie dis te sleg nie




hoop net dit gaan reg werk as hy in is.

How to you plan to fix the cracked fibre glass on the corner of the wind screen?

first I made 2 brackets that fits to the inside of the frame that bolts to the frame and that bolts to the body with the first bolts that hold the bonnet to the body



that kept it from cracking more, and now that I'm gona spray I opened it deep with the grinder to be filed with fiber glass and the brackets will stay.



Only problem I had with the brackets is that the dashboard do not fit back, so I had to skim the dash on the ends to get it back.

Well done! Kind of baffled to as how it would crack...unless the previous owner was a fat ass and hung on it getting in and out the buggy?

great idea, yeah sometimes my dad rides in my kango n he used the corner of the windscreen to help him out, i cringe and bite tongue

for that using of windscreen to help one out, I thought it best to made the brackets. It's a lot stronger with the brackets in, I used 2mm plate to gut the brackets from/

Okay als is nou al geverf met onderlaag, die plekke wat ek met glasvesel reg gemaak het lyk goed moet dit nou net met putty glad maak.

Ek het die kappie binne klaar sy topcoat van wit gegee. Nou die groot vraag gaan ek die kappie buit die selfde as die buggy spray of gaan ek hom wit maak.

Hier is die proef van die kleur wat buite gaan kom.





Ek sou eers die rims en ander bykomstighede metaal silwer gespray het, maar gaan by wit hou, want ek gaan die bekleedsel wit maak en die sypanele gaan wit bly.

Dis 'n baie mooi kleur daai! Ek sou sê verf die kappie wit, dit sal maak dat dit aan die binnekant baie koeler is as die buggy in die son is
