key words there is if i have to. i mean if i had to go on the highway i'd probably take cover but if i was just in town no problems.
on a seperate note, i found a guy willing to trade my bug for a dune buggy... the one problem is its auto stick. how hard is it to convert an auto stick pan to manual? i'd imagine all you really need to do is change the tranny pedals and install a clutch cable tube but i dont know.
thing isn't the rain bro' it's the way they drive...ever driven one?..they are all over the road,extremely light and even with a windshield and belts...f--kin death traps..owned 2 and they were super,super nice from the ground up...
but still a fiberglass body bolted to a pan...and with out the strength of th body being bolted down to it...they shake,bounce all over the place and drive like ass.
who the hell builds and autostick dune buggy? or is he giving you a chassis FOR the dunebuggy body to be bolted on?..if so you might wanna measure that thing and make sure it hasn't been cut or will need to be cut...it ain't forr the faint of heart getting involved in someone elses horror show.
i know they're light, and will probably blow away in the wind but if it was so bad then they wouldent have made them.
and an autostick dune buggy is probably the stupidest thing ive ever heard. if you bump the shifter it goes out of gear. i couldent imagine off roading with it!
it's a kellison sandpiper xp1, and if done right they are badass. for example
"if it was so bad then they wouldent have made it"...That's what was said about YUGO's..You're like talking to a tree man.You ask about them and when someone who's owned and driven them tells you their opinion on them,you toss a stupid statement like that out.
Sure they're cool, but they're as practical as tits on a nun, and they drive like sh!t...it is what it is man.
That's the build thread to the 1 ya posted. That dude (RIP) had some insane fab'n skills and a big wallet..you couldn't touch that car for a penny less than $20g.
If ya don't want to listen to honest answers man, don't ask the questions.
Estrogen levels,...hahahahaha I have 5 girls sitting here waiting on the school bus..estrogen overflow!..they haven't gotten to listening class yet...chaos!
I just wanna see something started and maybe some progress, make a damn decision and live with it already!! It surely wont be the end of the world. :banghead:
Damn Danny boy, youre up quite early on the interweb today! Friday got ya motivated?? :thumbup:
no, I went 2 years ago and got 1st in class. (was the only baja there:laugh
I have to be at school in the morning and it just wouldnt work with the drive. My uncle will be there. Red 69 ghia.
I was just reading a thread on Samba about new cars having/not having any bondo/filler on them coming out of the factory. Tim had a cpl posts in the thread,and some dude arguing that if a brand new car has filler on it it cant be sold in Ca. as new.
I know for a fact it's true, some brand new cars have filler, I watched a guy do it with my own eyes.
Now I don't know if that car went to Ca. or not, but I will bet my left 1 that there are cars sent to Ca. w/ filler...
Now we all know that Tim does the sheet for a living, and he's damn good at it..just look at the cars he's done,but you have to have the Samba Twits argue about something they obviously have no F'n clue about....I just needed to vent, cuz I'm not gonna waste my time posting over there,getting in a pissing match.
Yes...Brand spanking new cars leave the factory with body filler if needed.
who the Fook would think they dont. you think they are gonna throw away a 30k car with one ding on the rear quarter from some half watt that dropped a screw driver on it. what do you think they will do with the dent .
hmmmmm add 2 bucks worth of filler and send it on its mary way.
Not if they plan on selling the car in Ca. :screwy:...I swear dudes over there just like to argue about nothing...I'll ask my bro-inlaw about that Ca. thing, but I already know the answer.
i can't commit to anything. i know im being stupid but when am i not stupid? ive had worse ideas. im just going to see where the flow takes me and where i end up with this stupid thing.
Look at that piss cutter taking up AC space...you should be ashamed bro!..:laugh:[/QUOTE
:laugh:As I said, like my piss cutter very much! And its gettin close to hibernation time for the baja anyway...
Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!! I had a feeling the "73 hammered standard" thread would bring ya back from out of the woodwork! :laugh::laugh::facepalm:
oh yeah and don't forget the wheels that are way to large for the wheel lip openngs and a tire so stretched over, it might as well an Impala on Daytons
It has a big a$$ magnaflow on it already, and Im gonna go with wider wheels eventually, but stretches are :screwy:
