Default Peakeys Procat thread

Well I purchased it at the start of march an after a few emails to Australia post and 4 phone calls to Royal Mail and parcel force I found it. It was in the depo round the corner so I went in and paid my £71.31 import tax and got it.






It's full of WASP racing bits alloy front diff alloy top deck alloy internal motor housing MMS front and rear diffs and not sure what else am I'm still at work.
If I say I'm more than happy would be an understatement

God I wish they made buggies this gorgeous these days, cos let's be honest chaps, they don't. Bleedin' forward cab rubbish.
This paintjob on this shell is simply stunning!

Thanks for the nice comments guys as soon as i saw it I just had to have it and nearly a month later and it's here in all it's glory. It's even better in the flesh the shell could do with freshening up so I might get another done the same but I'll see about that there's a bit to do before that

It's a Procat and the plan is to strip it rebuild it and then thrash the living daylights out of it

And yes mark there will be photos you can be sure of that

Definitely got 3 of the WASP things, but it's at the bottom of loads of other stuff so only 2 pictured

It actually says on the front, Polished Alloy Bearing Housings for Layshaft on all XL and Procat Part No WAS7890, not sure if this is what you meant.

Other stuff is from MMS, was with all the other schumacher stuff i pulled out of my dads garage, so assume it's Schumacher related, if you know what it is let me know. 3 x T9 and 1 x TM2

Now that is very-very nice - certainly worth the wait!! All those lovely period aftermarket parts too! Looking forward to seeing how this progresses & how you get on running this bad-boy!!

Well the MMS bits are replacements parts for the diffs I'm assuming front and rears and I've not seen bearing housings like that for a very long time pal very nice. As for the what looks like shock tower I'm not sure what that's off but I bet someone will
