You have a bond bug, now that is cool :y :y

To my great shame I bought it about 5 years ago. After the initial spurt of enthusiasm that saw a 'new' chassis' built from a Robin, & a very little bit of fibre glassing of stainless inserts, it's sat in my garage not doing very much at all.

You must finish it :y :y
Saw a few last year at west point kit car show and i think they are great ;D but i think there's not many left now :(

Carbon fibre Bond Bug?  8-)

Kevin

 

Where did carbon fibre come from?  ;)  ;D
I thought we were talking fibre glass / GRP   ;)  ;)

No Harm in an upgrade... :y

Kevin
;D  ;D  ;D
There was a Bug at a recent meeting that had been upgraded with a turbo charged Hyabussa engine. 0 - 60 in around 2.5 secs & on to 140 in 12 secs  :o  :o  :o  :o .... mostly in a straight line though

Hand't fitted differential rear brakes, then, cos that's the only way you'd steer one with the fruot wheel off the ground!

There was lots of modified car stuff underneath ie welded Cossie diff, disc brakes front & back & another pair for the hydraulic handbrake, tubular chassis combined with roll cage. Apparently it went round corners better than a real Bug cos nothing moved very far.

Now there's an idea -- fit a couple of nacelles and a paint job and you have a Star Trek Shuttle !!!!!
