This was Sept 2010 BOTM then Troy sold it to us so he could start some new projects. He did a great job on the frame and accessories on this buggy. But now it is time to give it as giveitagallon would say......pa pa pa power! Right now the plan is to install the ecotec and 6 rib, 2x3 or maybe 5x7 trailing arms. 930's and upgrade the pedal assembly to my old CNC setup. Right now I have time and no budget for parts, and soon I will be able to buy parts and have no time to install, par for the course! I will update you all as I go.

Well the first headache I have noticed allready is that I need to cut the rear of the cage open to be able to put the engine in, lol. Also forgot to mention It is getting power steering via a chevy truck box as well.

Still havnt figured out what I am doing for the harness just yet. Do it myself or pay to have it done. Any advise guys that have done this?

Its an 05 from a cavalier.

And Dan if I could afford a stroker and a tech to follow her around and clean and tune carbs then It would stay air-cooled. :mrgreen:

Not saying it doesnt happen, just that I can't do it with my current skills. And so far my lawn mower runs fine so no need to learn carbs :mrgreen:
