These pages are intended to describe all the components of Tina's buggy and why I have chosen to do them the way I have. I'll write them as I go along, although I may have to modify bits as I change my mind and make 'cock-ups' along the way. I hope to write the stuff on these pages as a means of clarifying my thoughts before I actually go out and spend my hard earned cash on each component, so it will mostly be written in the future tense, although by the time you read it, it may well have already happened.

WARNING: I am not an expert on cars, automotive engineering, VW Beetles, beach buggies or anything else discussed in these pages. What I have written is my current understanding of the issues involved in building Tina's buggy. These opinions are based only on my own research in books and on the web. They, therefore, have no basis in fact, may well be wrong and potentially downright dangerous if taken to be gospel truth. If you intend to use any of this information for any purpose other than pure entertainment, then please get its validity confirmed by someone who knows what they're talking about! You have been warned...
