r1v3th3ad Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 well, I don't but have seen it done enough. Can't imagine it being that hard. I put a dry weld, for my seals, on my hookah since they all came undone this past summer.My buddy is a railroad welder with no prior experience...I say go for it, probably cheaper than buying one off of someone, then again, the time to put it together with running a lounge...tough call man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWEET!Ah yes..it's street legal. Looks like it has a webber 2 barrel carb on it if I recognise the air filter on the thing. Means it will haul ass. 1600cc upright VW engine, no weight, fat back tires...and I believe the front cover is just a bra, so it can be removed for full open rail. Wind in my face, bugs in my teeth...Going to get a set of Tanker goggles to wear when I drive it. No scarf...good way to get your head removed....

mushrat Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 So i took it for a short test drive. Going to have to rebolt the seat closer to the pedals. I had to use a pillow to be able to drive it with my toes... Other than that it's beautiful. Smaller than it looks in the pictures. anyone 6 foot and over will have to look over the windshield. I hope to buy it this week, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
