damn...that looks almost exactly like minee . The raised part in the middle of hood is shared by mine as well. This is absent in most all other buggyies like the Manx and clones .

It was a job....we took it down to clean sand blasted frame. Tranny rebuilt by local shop. My pop rebuilt engine. New wiring harness, patch,sand and paint.

All in all 2 years and 6k later.

The fiberglass body in pic looks in pretty good shape. Had lots of fun with the buggy..thought about making it electric with a kit from e-volks.com
