MegaBuggy part 2!
Ok, the raptor engine is off of the old machine and here is what it will be going on:
  If you have never seen one of these, this is called an Edge Sidewinder. Made by The Edge Products in Australia. Oh let the fun begin.....

The Edge sidewinder is one of the best engineered and designed buggy chassis's out there. Did you find this local? I thought they only came in kit form. The only thing I disliked about them was that tacky marine gas tank they would bungy strap to the side rails .
 I guess that is a Aussie thing.

Looks really great! You are definitively gonna have some fun with that one.
At this moment a guy over here in the Netherlands is also working on a buggy that looks similar to this one. He even repainted it in the same color green. Here's a vid of it testing the engine, sounds very impressive! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RfhRnP8KHc

Here are a couple of progress pics. They are cameraphone pics but that's all I had at the time.
The new engine is in place. Lots and lots of stuff to do yet.

It's a fairly heavy machine but I don't have the specifics on it. I am not going to be having any tank on the other side. I need gravity fed so the plan as of now is to use one of the aluminum spun jobs on the rear somewhere. I'll figure that out when the time comes.

Here are some more update pics.
Here she sits on the middle of my now disasterous building. It amazes me at how quickly mahem sets in when doing something like this. You can see the battery mounted on the left side just behind the front fender. I'm happy I FINALLY found something to use this battery on. When I bought our HammerHead 400 Tiburon, the previous owner wouldn't spend the money on the correct battery and instead bought this beast and had it rigged into the HammerHead. Been sitting for a year and still good. Fits perfectly into the battery tray.  If you look behind the seat, you can see where I mounted the electronics. Really the only things that have to be mounted are the CDI box, the rectifier, and the solenoid which I used from our blown up scrambler just because it was easier to mount. Along the right side (when seated) is where the wiring is bunched up for the time being but I plan on relocating that by extending the harness that goes to the shifter lever. The coil had a limited length on the spark plug wire so it had to go along the right side as well and will likely stay there. Other wise, the wiring appears to be done.  One of the bigger challenges believe it or not was to get the paint matched. No way to get a hold of the original painters of this to ask them what paint is on it. After 5 cans of green paint that will likely never be used, I finally took a piece of metal with me to an auto paint shop and they did a remarkable job getting me a pretty correct color paint so I could pain the new motor mounts to match. The exhaust header is on but that will be dealt with in order to get it to the new muffler mounting position later. The oil tank is mounted and in place as well.  In these next two shots you can see the muffler in its hopefully permanent home. We also utilized the polaris radiator from our blown up scrambler. Just better suited for the job.   Lots more to be done. Still have to deal with the shifting (although I have a plan) and the throttle cable and a ton nic-nac items. I'll update again when I have more to update.

Well..the one problem with these kind of projects is they take a TON of time. Most of which is in waiting for parts. I'm slowly but surely getting more parts in. It's getting there though.
