Dave's la(te)st buggy build...

The pie tray is inspired. Looks like there was room to do a hidden version with a bracket to not cut the bonnet?

Ah, yes, but...

1) That would then be a copy of the Buritto Box, not at all British-ised

2) Brett doesn't stop long enough to open bonnets and retrieve the pie / pastie, it has to be "quick-release" :lol:

Half a day today

Started with a cooked breakfast after working until 9am, and then took the dogs out for a five mile walk, and then...



Pushed the buggy out and tidied the garage...







And then turned it round...



I was going to push it, but it's a lot of effort, so I thought I'd just try... gingerly switched the battery feed to the engine compartment ON, turned the key, and.... Ummm.... it started and ran first turn of the key! :woohoo: Gob Bless the Jimnys! So I jumped in and carefully turned it round in the road and back into the garage...



Back on the dollys and pushed to the edge for work to commence on the other side starting Sunday...



Checking all the pieces to the jigsaw are here :lol:

So there's the oval box for the edge of the bonnet, box section to make the inner wing, and the door post / edge, and the A-pillar tube...



And at the back - the 4"x2" piece will be cut in half lengthways to make the half door top, and the boxing in of the back of the cab... And the elliptical tube is clamped in place for looks...



That fresh "lunchbox" (Lockright type but cheaper brand) locker is gripping well! Some oil in the diff would probably help! :dry:

Another fiver donated to cover all the disk space I must be using on Martin's server for this great forum!

I'm having second thoughts about the colour...

I think yellow might be a bit garish for greenlaning?... and I'm therefore considering keeping it blue to match the V5 too, which should make registration simpler...

There's a multitude of blue shades...

Noooooooooooooooooo! Or if you do please do it in a screaming eye melting shade of blue. This would look wrong in anything quiet and subtle!
