l do hope so still got a lot of thinking/planing to do, such as l might mount the rad behind the seats to keep the nose short and prevent the rad from filling with mud, but maybe l should leave enough room between the exhaust manifold and the front grill to squeeze a turbo in at a later date l am thinking that it will end up looking like a cross between these 2 buggys Andy

Very nice, Andy!
Did you build either of those two buggies pictured?
Keep up the great work!

Nice!
I don't think I've ever seen a Justy lifted up that high, flipped over (intentionally), or cut in two. You should be commended for your efforts to preserve the mighty Justy's heart and soul.
I vote that you save the Justy grill and mount it on the front of the buggy!

nice, solid, start, Can't wait to see the frame in progress stacks there you go frame in progress ;D eporter123 oddly enough the only thing l kept of the old body was the grill ;D thought it might look ok on the front of the buggy thanks Andy

Keep us posted!!!

thank you guys
l assume the large canister just after the exhaust manifold is an early form of cat, dont think l need this do l ? in fact l might have a go at making my own exhaust manifold that way l could keep it tighter to the block and further over to the left (viewed from the front ) l might be able to create enough room to mount the rad in front of the engine instead of behind as l was contemplating

well its decision time on the shape of the buggy, as you can see there is 2 possibilties with the seats, if they are positioned well forward then a body shape like this one would be possible but l cant help thinking it would be better to have the seats as far back as possible to offset the wieght of the engine and box, perhaps with the fuel tank and battery behind the seats as well opinions ??

Looks shweeeeet! Id say farther back for weight dist, and the fact of a long, bumpy ride with your legs so close...either way, your project is shaping up quite nicely. Most impressive! -JP
