Just bought this one a few days ago. Planning to make it street legal. It's a '72 1600, 5-rib, link-pin front, '81 Chenowth frame.

It was a little wet this weekend
But she still went well - 7th in yesterdays event and 8th today, out of 75 cars, and 40-50 seconds per stage faster than the next nearest 2wd competitor.
Given the amount of 400 horsepower, 4wd cars there, pretty happy. |

I get the purpose of them but those fenders sure deter from the aesthetics of a buggy _________________ Forced induction can overcome a lot of obsticles that gets in it's way

No they are not pretty but pretty doesn't win races, function does. It's all about being able to see after you hit a mud bog. Pretty is for curb and trailer queens and car shows.

The mudguards?
They're regulation, have to have 120* arc covered, at least 30* forward of the axle, no tyre visible from above, no more than 6 inches of tyre from the rear at ride height.
It's to protect spectators from rocks mainly, there were some nasty accidents in rallying and safari in the EU a while back.
Even then we still put a dent in a marshalls car last year.
And yes, help a lot in the mud or water crossings, you can see the state of the screen sometimes. I need to get it recoated with quartz again to bead the mud off, I haven't got around to it with the new screen yet. |

...and they're not perfect but they do their job in the water too.
You can see how much they keep the general dirt down even on harder stuff too there. |
