Basic buggy build and T2D at The Goodwood Revival 2024
We’ve built a few traditional buggies over the years from Empi Imps to Meyers Manx but this build hits a little bit different. We wanted to build a basic, brutalist, modern buggy with a limited colour palette and a couple of tasteful but beautifully engineered mods while still keeping the traditional buggy ethos. Big rear tyres, lightweight, small but hopped up engine, quick and agile, everything a short wheel based beach buggy has always represented, but most importantly, fun. The timing of this build coincided with a buggy spectacular at the Goodwood Revival so we just had to finish it for then to display on our stand. We were honoured to be asked by Meyers Manx to not only look after one of their original cars before the event but to take part in the buggy parade round the Goodwood circuit on the Friday and Saturday, an unforgettable experience thanks to Micheal Gross and Ben from Floyd for the seat time. Also on this episode we show you a couple of workshop projects, Paul’s Sleeper of a four door Ford Cortina and a look round probably one of the rarest Porsches in existence Paul Rui’s 928 Kombi. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did making it, make sure to like, comment and subscribe to our channel to see what we’re up to next.
Thanks to everyone that helped with this buggy build and our fantastic weekend at Goodwood, we couldn't do it without you.

I’m from California and a huge Volkswagen fan. All of my mates have buggy’s, vans ,bugs ,and we have one truck, and and one thing in the bunch. This is my first time to your channel. After seeing your beautiful work I am officially a subscriber and a huge fan! Amazing stuff guys. Super impressive. 👍🏻
So you you enjoyed it.. stay tuned for the next episode 🎉
Buggy looks like a hotwheels car
It does a little bit, doesn’t it?
Another brilliant episode Paul. The buggy looks terrific. Maybe you should look at doing a replica of the Steve McQueen one in The Thomas Crown Affair? BTW did you realise it was Porsche legend Jochen Mass that you walked passed at Goodwood at 31:28?
Glad you enjoyed the episode, Nono had no idea that was him 😮
Looks terrible. Lowered way too much.
Artz did some really cool Porsche wagons including a 924 Carrera GT. D+P Motorsport did some 924/944s as well, the Cargo which I prefer to the Artz cars.
Thanks for the info
Cheers for the little clip of my car mate, it looks mega 😎. Someone asked if Choddy was my nan 😂. Please mention it in the next video 😂😂😂
@@jaytownley72 hahaha is Choddy your mate?
Another great episode, love the coffee cameos !
Thanks Steve, who’s next to cameo?
Hi Paul, Great episode. Seeing all those buggies reminded me of the time you , beaker and I drove down to that awful show in France in that poor Ford Fester hire car. And us all singing "Wake up it's a beach buggy morning" which is way better than the Boo Radleys version😂 Boy, you've come a long way since those days above a furniture shop. Hope to catch up with you irl one day All the breast Mike "Cheshire"
Hey Mike, yes it’s funny what you remember… do you remember the “Fall Guy” in the big truck we were trying to over take from Calais to Paris… Beachhhhhh Bugggyy wugggy 😂
@@t2detectives haha, I remember him now you mention it. That poor fiesta, I feel sorry for whoever had it after you. It must have taken 40 minutes to get past him, but you were going to do it even if a pushrod pushed it's way out of the block 😁 And the garlic spam baguettes. Wild weekend that
@@bluetonic9538 those Garlic Spam offerings where the only good thing about the show… great memories in hindsight though
Looks amazing, do you have to use caster Sims when lowering
There is something so cool about buggies. Lovely build.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment

Thanks Alex, was great to chat .. Good luck with the venture and racing
Ha ha, that Diana air freshener!
Awesome isn't it?!
How did you get the front suspension up so high? Puzzled.
@@philrazzi7782 we made raised front struts and used de cambered ball joints
The caddy and 924 such a wicked combo 😍😍
Thanks - we are so happy with them!
Another jam packed episode. Great stuff! Good to see the work experience guys getting involved👍
A week here certainly beats the work experience I had at school back in the day!
Great video, each one gets better , LOADS going on in this episode , making it a great watch. Keep up the amazing work and don’t leave it too long for the next episode , see you soon.
Thanks Pete - did you enjoy seeing your bus in this episode? It won't be too long before the next episode is ready :-)
@@t2detectives What a surprise when it’s your own bus featured 😊 you certainly covered a lot of ground in that episode. Will be a mega episode if you build the coffee shop 👍
George is so knowledgable and a budding car sales man! Maybe you should set him up a franchise in Devon…not that I’m biased! 🤪#GeorgeFanClub 🤙
We love having George here! Great asset to the workshop.
Another good vid Paul, love the different stuff coming through in one video. Thanks for spending the time putting it together
Glad you enjoyed it, but its really Tom our videographer that pulls it all together with his excellent editing :-)

We have such a great team here, everyone fully on board and pitching in with ideas, age is but a number!
Great video. Love the Caddy !
