Re: Dune Buggy

Once I got it home and drove it around town - went to DQ with my wife - I realized the front end was really loose. Started checking it out and was shocked to see that the VW lug bolts only threaded in the brake hubs 1/8”! We were extremely lucky that wheels didn’t fall off. I immediately put longer studs in with some red locktite and also adjusted the front end to tighten up the link pins.

Here’s a good pic of the motor. Pretty dusty and dirty but that’ll be easy to fix.
