Re: New to the Buggy Life

Yes the driver and passenger side are completely flat on the pan. It has been off the pan for about 6 months. I don't remember there being a gap before it was removed. Id rather not stress the fiberglass since i just paid a lot of money to have it repainted.

This isnthe issue im having. The body is sitting down all the way on the edges. But along the back there is a significant gap. I can fit my fingers in there with space to wiggle them.

Re: New to the Buggy Life

Is there anyway to get the roll bar off without cutting it or the body? Im not sure if this is normal or not but my roll bar has a U-bolt holding it to the body from the inside but the outside where the nuts would be are glassed over. Also the plates that bolt to chassis at the bottom are welded on ...

Re: New to the Buggy Life

Awesome guys thanks for all the info. I ended up just buying a complete other clone buggy that had the whole chassis and motor redone so im just going to swap over the body and parts i want. After looking at parts and labor this was my best option.
