lets start it off by introducing myself my name is william close im in 23 years old and am from sw pa most people call me close and im pretty sure most of u know my uncle whose always on here and has a pretty sick buggy (davehix) im pretty new to the entire buggy building thing for most of my life ive built demolition derby cars until just last year when i finally sold everything and purchased a buggy from dave hix woman tonya it was pretty basic buggy with 1915 and 3 rib in which it ran really well but i uhhhh.....kinda abused it a lil! so it was time to upgrade after she blew up on me in wellsville this is wat it looked like when i first bought it
after tearing it apart
i changed alotta stuff on the frame so by the time u see the finished project u wont reconize it i added x brace behind seat larger tree bars and totally redid the front of it
also purchased a set of race trim seats and a set of 7 in hid off road lights
since changin rear arms i mad a set of front arms that are 2 in longer i used 1 in solid round stock with 1/4 thick x 1 in to box them
i had full intentions on buildin 2387 stroker for this but instead i went cheaper route when i got a deal on 95 subaru 2.2 i got harness and everything for $100 i also up graded transmission i went from 3 rib to 6 rib nose shift i got adaptor and exhaust from out front motorsports
i aslo eliminated the rear torsion with eliminators from appletree and put a set of air bags under it
i aslo added power steering by using a steering box that was used on a frined buggy before in which he gave me to put on mine (scott beneke)
well enough talkin ill just start posting pics its not completely done but its almost there non of this would be even possible with out the help of all the guys from around here espicially dave!!
