Hmmm! For the life of me I can not seem to wrap my head around what your saying you have into this Buggy!
It looks like any run of the mill low budget build I see at Wellsville everyday. Stock beam, advance auto shocks, plastic seats with covers, bald 45 degree V treads, cheapo steel wheels etc. Here is a prime example of what a real 25,000.00 buggy looks like:
And this was when it was VW powered with a Turbo charged 2332 that I personally built and have less than 5K in the motor with all high dollar parts including new aluminum cases. It has all the amendies of a pro buggy right down to Howe power steering etc. Everyone on here knows I use the best of everything. Since then I have upgraded to a Turbo 2.5 Subaru motor with Froddill spindles, Woods arms, Coil over shocks on all four corners Bead lock 5 lug Doulglas wheels, billet Jamar Brakes, Hid lighting etc. The bottom line is I now probably have over 30K into it and could not get 15K out of it and that's why it will be a toy in the barn until I die! Good luck with that sale man and get prepared for a major disappointment!
This is what bit looks like now right after I converted it to frame mounted shock towers. Its naked right now with out the front bumper and panels on , however you get the picture.
