So I bought a 4-seater dune buggy back a couple of months ago and I am fully restoring it. I hope to have it completely done and on the streets by next summer. It's gonna be a long process but the end results should be amazing. I wasn't for sure where to posts this, only because I have never seen a topic such as this here on the forum. I hope this will be a topic that everyone will enjoy reading!

To start off the dune buggy!

4 seater dune-buggy that came with a 1600cc dual port motor. Got to stripping it and this is what i got:

Noticed that the rear torsion was just complete mangled and needed to be replaced:

So the only thing i could do was to cut it out of course!

Picked up a new torsion, tranny, and motor for $100

Stripped down the torsion and prepped it to weld back onto the buggy:

How else can i move the buggy without a rear end underneath it? By putting it in the back of the truck of course!

Spent a lot of time setting it in place but sure enough i finally got it!

Fortunately I know a friend that is a professional welder so he helped me out a lot with welding it back into place, it's not completely welded in there yet but we got it enough for i can get it sitting on all 4's again!
