Our Dune Buggies

« on: March 12, 2017, 11:38:45 AM »
Here's the dune buggies we own.  The orange one belongs to our college student daughter.   ;D  The green one (1966 pan) is actually from Tennessee and we bought it in July of 2016.  The blue one is our "rebuild project" (1959 pan)...

Well....
The red one is a Berry Mini T4...as in "4" seats.  It is built on a full length VW pan.  It has a 1500cc single port engine.  My dad bought it in the early 1990s from a friend of his whose son had built it in 1973.  My dad just used it for driving around the backroads of Northern Wisconsin.  When my daughter was a toddler, "grandpa" put her car seat in the buggy and toured around with her.  My dad passed away in 2007 and left the buggy to her.  My daughter and I completely removed the rats nest of wiring a few years ago while she was still in high school and completely re-wired it...headlights to taillights.  These pictures were before we did that and you can see the awful wiring hanging under the dash.   ::)
