| Last Saturday me and big bro went up to Athens and picked up a buggy (Thanks Shane) damn good price.  It does have some issues, the pans are toast, passenger side of the tunnel is rusted out and several holes drilled in the body. So Sunday we started the work. Got the body off and the pans cut out. Built a tube chassis and cut the bad part of the tunnel and patched, put in new pans, then built the roll cage. The goal is to have her on the road by the end of August at a cost of under $1500.  Might have to call big bro to get some pics up.

| Thanks, Been doing alot of body work the last few days. I noticed the paint was bubbled up in several places around the back and over the tires. So I started sanding and found about 75 holes from the size of a pencil to a dime filled in with bondo. I got it all out and started putting fiberglass back in. Hoping to finish it today.
