View Full Version : Buggy Restoration
Well after the fall ride I decided it was time to give the wife's buggy some love. I have it just about about apart, will be painting it a different color, adding new Douglas aluminum wheels, new head ( valve guides are shot ) new seat belts, repair the front where she hit a tree at the buggy bash, and maybe some lights
just a freshen up basically, but will be a fun winter project. got the suspention blasted and painted, its a carbon metalic color, the new head on, exhaust rewraped, and swing arm painted.
now just have to blast the frame and start primeing

Awesome! Is that a Joyner in the back on pic one?
yes its a 250 I sold last year, the battery died and the customer jumped it off with his truck running and fried the stator

so you dont jump these things with the car running?why?
the car altenator on most puts out 75-115 amps, these buggy systems only produce 3.5-4 amps. it will blow the stator, regulator and pick up coil.
got the tires and new douglas and itp wheels mounted, hopefully next week I will get it blasted

Did it feel powerful? I only ask because I think it weighs more than the average 250.
the joyners have a low/high/neutral and reverse tranny. in low it really has low end, in high its not bad. we didnt do any cvt mods to it yet
well finaly had some time to work on the buggy, got it primed, painted and the front end back on. new douglas wheels mounted
