Default on a buggy buying tear

so that past week I've been searching and looking at other buggies. Monday I come home with a monster.




I have to say that this thing is a absolute pig! but I knew that when I was going to go buy it. The engine side frame work I am not a fan of at all. Kinda a poor design in my eyes. I picked it up for $125 bucks, and the blade single seater got a ton of good parts from it.

So today looking around again. Just for giggles and found a old hammerhead. Went and picked that up for $100 bucks. Long and behold I didn't know it has the aluminum mag wheels!!! So the blade will now be getting those.

lol, I still haven't even finished my single hammerhead. I already stripped the parts off the yellow one that I wanted. So the blade has a single sprocket now, 4 new wheel hubs all the way around with new studs and hardware, and I swapped out the axle bearing carriers. That alone paid for itself and then some. The blade feels smoother pushing around because one of the axle bearings was frozen. Now that I got this hammerhead with aluminum wheels that will be getting swapped over to the blade. Plan now is to sell the yellow one, and keep the 2 seater hammerhead just for steel and parts. For $100 bucks I would have spent 4 times that just for the steel.

I forgot the hammerhead came with a brand new tire mounted on a rim. Also came with a old battery then I can turn into autozone for store credit. Just wet sanded and clean the polished wheels they are going to look good on the blade. I put air in all the tires last night, and they all hold air so good to go to swap all them over.
