The Buggy was successfully transported to its new home in the UK and with that, Phase III is in motion. The cooling system, the roll bar cover and a windshield are left to finish the car itself. The engine is still missing various bits, but so far the fuel injection has been replaced twin Dellorto 40’s.

Above is the Buggy in the new garage and the engine with Dellorto carbs fitted… that was until I realised that I had made a terrible mistake by reusing the stretch type bolts on the connecting rods. On a Wasserboxer engine, these need to be replaced when they are loosened as they stretch the first time they are tightened and slightly loose their elasticity. So I had to go back a few steps and decided to have some new connecting rods custom made for the set up, this time with ARP bolts. These things what happens when you rush =/
