The nut Jon mentioned in the previous post never came out, ended up over drilling the hole to get through it and using a nut and bolt.
I’ve just tallied up in my head and I reckon we’ve notched up 78 man hours of time so far this week on the project. We’ve got a little bit of faffing around to do this weekend before we can move on to the electrics:
- Cover the clutch cable
- Fit the front right brake hose (Should be collected tomorrow morning)
- Neaten up the solid front to back brake line. It’s a bit wiggly at the moment.
- Hammerite the bare metal we’ve left from this weeks efforts
Also, I’ve finally identified our shell! It’s a GP Beach Buggy Mk II.

I just found your site, good job!!!
Re. the shell, it’s not a GP as you think, but a Californian Dune Buggy, made in the early 80s by a company called Limited Edition Sportscars of Warrington, Cheshire.
Cheers, Dave.
