Default Helix 150 Build

OK...so i got this Helix 150 from a friend (its still his kid's buggy) but illl post up the build and pics/performance specs. basically he gave me the buggy to rebuild and gave me $800 to make it awesome. Awesome is a matter of opinion, but none the less i am not showing him the buggy until i give it back to him. I started with a bone stock Helix 150cc Buggy with the muffler missing (rusted off). after some tweaking i got it to run and gave it back to him for about a week before his son killed it. the head gasket blew BIG...it was shooting exhaust and oil out of where the gasket goes and the clutch was toast...SOOO i got it back to rebuild. the pics in this post are before and after cosmetics...soon to come is the engine build pics and performance stuff.

Here is what i have ordered and will have Wednesday of this coming week i posted links at the end of the parts ordered:

170cc Big bore kit with EVERYTHING in it (see link)
