Manx Club

Cool! Be a shame to break the set up. To bad you didn't post this a month ago I would try to work out a deal for the Siggy.

I am waiting on some small parts to arrive for the motor so I decided to bend some tube this weekend. After a couple of false starts I managed to bend a rear hoop that fit. Fortunately I ordered 20" of extra tubing so I could screw up a few times. Tubing is 1.5" x .095". Always rememb...

Decided to stay home today and recover from my recent trip to the OBX. And of course by recovering I mean spending some time in the garage working on my engine. http://static.yuku.com/domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/roll.gif Whipped up a quick crank holder by welding an old gland nut to a piece of 1....

Went up to OBX to visit with surfnc this past weekend and scout out the area for the Manx on the Banx event. We had a great time, ate some great food and got lots of sun. Here are a couple of shots I took of us cruising on the beach and driving around. Vince (surfnc) and my best friend Bob getting t...

Took a week's vacation in Arizona with the wife and while I was there a friend took me around to some of the Phoenix area VW shops. I think my favorite was Competition Engineering, they had some serious cars going together there. That got the juices flowing again so I was eager to get back home and ...

More fiberglass work today. (itch, itch) Started by hot gluing the wiring tubes to the underside of the body, then laying some cloth over that to make it permanent. Early Manxs came with these from the factory but my II, which was produced after Bruce left the company, didn't have them so I decided ...

Bob, did you do the turned dash or did you have someone make it for you?



Thanks,

Hi Bob,



I plan to "borrow" a couple of ideas from your awesome buggy.

So whats the fair going to be for a ride to Baja.

New hood showed up today from the Meyers. It cost as much to ship the hood as it did to buy it. Also shown is the new dash I ordered a couple of weeks ago: http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/798826.jpg http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/798827.jpg I am thinking of metal turning the alu...

Really good looking Towd. I keep wondering if there would be any interest in a modern version from the Meyers.

Yeah but with all the practice I should be really good at it. http://static.yuku.com/domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/roll.gif Besides, I have redone everything on this buggy at least twice so why should the hood be any different. http://static.yuku.com/domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/embarassed.gif --...
