Hey guys, I am in the middle of moving and need to decide what to do... I am moving to a neighborhood with no trails, I have no truck or trailer... It only has a two car garage. I have done a lot of work to my buggy, still not built yet. I am wondering what do you guys think... should I part with it or keep on working on it and give up a spot in my garage? All I have left is: wire it up run gas and hydraulic lines Needs: Alternator Push rods cut for valve geometry Rear disk brake kit best I know that is it... just not sure what to do.... Bus torshion, 2165cc, 3 rib |

I live in Brook Park, which is a suburb of Cleveland. There is no riding at all around me. I have to drive 2 hours to Wellsville to ride. So, keep building the buggy and buy a truck. |

3 Hour drive to the closest place for me, 5 to the next spot. Buy a truck, build a trailer and keep it. At least ride it once, work out the bugs you find and try it again. If you still dont like it then maybe sell it. |

I'd finish it. If you sell it you'll never get what you put in to it but you will get more for it running/drivable than a project buggy. You also get a chance to try it out. Norm |

Thanks guys... Heck with it I will complete the build and then decide what I should do. On that note I have decided to get some custom rear trailing arms for my next stage from Avery... and continue with my plans... Worst case I may need to give up a winter spot or get a storage place for the winter... once moved I will get back on the project... thanks for your thoughts... it helped |

I hope you did not really expect a different answer than you got... It is kind of like asking a group of alcoholics if you should stop drinking.  Glad to see you are sticking with it.. |

lol... no I expected to get the responses... helps me keep on building.... Been talking to Avery tech to have some 3x3 dual pivot arms made (would use MIke but I have a bus arms) so I decided to dive in... not going to be cheep will end up with those arms and tor. eliminators... then next I will get the brake and shocks... All this in another thread when I am able to get back on the project. current fab work by PO has left me with lots of cleanup so I just do what I can when I can... they welded caliper tabs on the bus arm hub assy. but they are crooked... anyone should of known with crooked tabs a caliper would not line up with a rotor...  so while I am taking some time away (moving) I will get the arms and when I can bolt them in and go back to the motor... If I do go street I think I would need to swap out the cam... but that wouldnt stop me... I just want to get it together and then see it run.. after that I will be ready to start changing it up a bit. |
