As mentioned in other episodes the engine is (1641cc air cooled) we installed that had actually been stored for many years and was purchased from

But testimony to the build quality as it hasn’t leaked any oil as well as run spot on, even with the stupidly large carburettors that we’ve stuck on temporarily.
Another company we have used for parts is the air called accessories. We highly recommend them. We also have some very cool wall art from them.

@@surreyautoworks I feel some collaborations coming on
@@t2detectives hope so
Interesting project! I had a GP LDV many years ago on a stock length '68 pan. Looking at yours, I don't think it's a '71. Many buggies were given new plates when they were built, and as this is a short rear axle, linkpin front car, its definitely earlier than 1971. Worth checking the chassis number against the lists on The Samba, make sure you don't get delays by ordering the wrong parts!
As for front discs on a buggy, I wouldn't! Mine locked the front wheels far too easily even with drums as there's so little weight over the front wheels - in my drag Beetle I put rear wheel cylinders in the front brakes and front cylinders in the back to change the bias. Worked OK slowing from 100+mph at The Pod!
Very good point and well spotted it is actually an earlier pan the same been modified. We explain this in the latest episode.
We are definitely gonna need all the breaking we can get with the plan of an engine conversion.
Thats already well underway. This buggy will be like no other.👍🤙
@@surreyautoworks I look forward to it! I've got vague plans for a buggy at some point in the future - I've got an IRS rear end and a ball joint front, so rude not to stick them together and have a four wheeled sports bike beater!
Looking forward to seeing this 🤙🏻
Wait to you see what we’ve already done 👍
U could build a car for a show in 20 days, np. But it wouldn’t be a show car ( unless you’ve invested the money and prepared for a couple of years anyways)gd luck 👍
I think you’ll be surprised what we can achieve, this car is definitely gonna be something quite special. Tune in for the next episode. thank you for the support. 👍
@@surreyautoworks I’ll be there, new sub👍❤️
Putting that in the back of the van didn’t even seem plausible
Where there’s Surrey Auto Works, There’s always a way.💪
It was getting it back out that was the fun bit 🤣 😂
👍💪😎
It’s all about enjoying what you do 😎
