[QUOTE="drivermod, post: 286211, member: 4658"] [b]Re: First ever buggy build[/b] Since then the weather has turned so I've spent my time tying up loose ends. I finished the interior and build the fire walls. I temporarily welded some chain on it for limit straps incase we got a warm weekend. I still need to do some engine tuning but have been putting it off waiting for warmer weather. It hasn't come.
