Build Your Own Off-road Buggy: for as little as £100 Hardcover – 28 Mar. 2002

Excellent material and very well written and obviously has been tried and tested many times over. You do have to have a fair knowledge of bench fitting and simple engineering and understanding of Health & Safety to fully build and operate in a safe environment. It is very well laid out on the ideas of where to source materials and then terrific knowledge in planning and building. I feel some thought should be given to the age group that you wish to build it for as in younger person or older person as in speed and if you wish to add to the safety characteristics of the finished article. I would give it top marks. Build this and you can mover on to building bigger and better with the greatest of ease as not only do you learn to build a great idea and if it is your first time and have some engineering knowledge. Then there is lots of scope to advance your skills as you build. If you do not posses some skill, I would advise after you read the book and before you start that you take some type of bench fitting course where you have some chance to use Pipe benders and various welding tools with Health & safety as an added bonus from professionals as there is a serious and quite definite element of danger if you take a chance and do or get it wrong in the process of building it for yourself and other persons using the finished project. Skill is important and Health & safety is paramount and a good knowledge of all of the tools that you will be using as other peoples lives as well as your own will depend on the quality of the finished article

Always good to know, I may never make a buggy but its nice to know how to make something like this out of old crap.

this will help me build a buggy for the kids and grandkids which will get them out of the house and in the air for a few hours on the weekend

Not as good as `Build your own sports car`but still gave me some good ideas.

Well written book. Easy to follow, loads of pictures just need an engineering shop.

This was a brilliant buy in fantastic condition,really pleased with my purchase and have already started my buggy. Many thanks.

intresting

I am and always have been a fan of the Haynes Car Manual series. I've had one now for every car I've owned. My son was very interested in this book as he's very interested in cars but still too young to drive one. There are a number of reasons why anyone should think very hard about before purchasing this book. The first is the surprise they'll get on learning that they need to become proficient welders and will need a welding kit, never mind the tanks of oxygen etc. The second is that a working motorbike is essential for the engine and other parts. Thirdly and finaly, the array of tools needed won't be found even in some professional mechanic's workshop. There is just no way on earth that this buggy can be built under normal circumstances for the money mentioned. Great shame - Haynes, you need to do much better than this.

Esta bien pero es muy basico, a parte del plano para el chasis poca vosa mas, algunos consejos sobre las partes a aprovechar de una moto y/o posibles alternativas, hacia mucho tiempo que lo queria y estoy contento pero no es un manual al uso de como montar un buggy.

Prices of parts are a little outdated, but it seems to have all the info needed to go ahead and make a go kart

Great product and service. Thanks

very imformative

It's a perfect book, and it will really show you how to build one. You will need to know how to weld though, and you will need somewhere to drive the buggy
