Ya it needs some front end work also. Front end suspension design kinda looks similar to the yerf dog. Looks like the previous owner hit something and bent the control arm brackets. I was also aware of the internal reverse on this buggy and heard of people having issues with the gears shearing/wearing out. I've taken it apart and verified that the transmission shifts and works properly.

Buying original factory seats is crazy expensive, plus there cheap quality and not very comfortable. I would suggest used seats from a RZR side-by-side atv. Let me know if I can help.

Well I ended up buying a race seat with sliders from a guy off craigslist. will get pics up soon.

This buggy seems to be a little bigger than some of the other. Seems to have a longer wheel base.
So I got some progress! Started putting the motor back together. Got to the point where I wanted to install the piston and mount the head, but I ran into an issue. I could not find any of the dowel rods! The previous owner tore the engine apart and had no idea what he was doing. I'm suspecting that I didn't lose the dowel rods, I don't think the guy who tore the engine apart installed them back, hence the engine locking up. The cam cap was also missing the dowel rods and that was cracked in 3 pieces.
It also looks like the previous owner had the crankcase bored to fit a bigger bore. I now feel bad for only stepping up to a 155cc bbk
Also found out I bought the wrong dr.pulley sliders. I got 12g instead of 10g
Gonna try them out before I decide to change them.
got a yellow spring
upgraded to titanium valve springs I had laying around
Ended up buying pretty much everything new. New Crank, Bearings, seals, BBK with new head, plastics, Electrical components, Carb, Wire harness, etc. Would of probably been cheaper just to buy a new engine lol.
Depending on how the buggy is going to perform, I would like try do a sprocket swap. How would I be able to do that since this buggy uses a dual sprocket? Can I just get a single 39t sprocket and use it with one chain?
Oh I also bought new front rims/tires! 20-7-8 Carlisle Trail Wolf
