[QUOTE="gubni, post: 467691, member: 1166"] I recently had a local builder come and talk to me about my buggy. It had a long list of problem with it such as 18" coilovers with about 6" of travel because the front driveshaft would bind if it drooped any more. There were many other things I didn't like about the overall design of the chassis. He looked over all my problems and said the best way to fix it would be to build a new chassis. We agreed on a price of $7000 to make it turn key and 100% ready to go. To make sure there were no problems I insisted that he take it out and test it before I came to get it. He sent me video proving it was drivable and said he found no problems. This is not a bash the builder thread as he has offered to make it right. I am looking for ideas on what needs to be done to fix the problems. The biggest problem is the same front driveshaft problem is still there as when they got it even though it's a new chassis. I don't have pics of that at the moment. Here's two things that seem odd to me. The lower link brackets seem long and fragile. The bolt is too short also, but that's an easy fix. The rear radiator hose seems a little much to me also. What do you think? [/QUOTE]
