Our buggy project

Post by AlexV »

So finally got around to starting a project thread. As soon as I figure out how to post pics I will do so haha... we found a kango shape buggy with a hard top roof that comes off. We believe its a 1600 single port. But still need to confirm that with a someone. She runs when she wants to, small problem with the choke and carborator. The body is slightly damaged and a slight crack by the indicator that needs attention. The wiring also need to be sorted out as the brake lights dont come on when you push the brake. The seats were also loose and that was our first thing we fixed. For a quick fix we fabricated some supports to mount the seats but what wr actually want to do is find some tracks so we can move the seat forwards and backwards. If anyone can help with some suggestions or ideas on where to find these. That will be great.

The last pic is of the quick fix brackets to mount the seats down. Like I said earlier what we actually want to do is fit some sort of tracks so the seat can be moved and adjusted... also we find out tonight a new problem with the engine. Its not even firing now. Is there anyone thats knows of a reliable mechanic in the johannesburg south area that knows their way around aircooled engines that can help us out. We dnt know much on the mechanical side.?
