So that's how she sits at the moment excuse the red adaptor plates those will be taken off again and painted black just needed to sort out my back spacing etc but all fits now, just put 2 bolts on the body to keep it in the correct place one thing I have noticed now that the body is on is right front wheel if u looking at it from the front seems to be sitting lop sided need to look into this further think something collapsed there

Coming along very nice! Like the colour.

Not a HUGE fan of the wheels on a buggy, but if it works for you, don't let anyone else tell you otherwise :) Enjoy

yeah i know they may not be everyones cup of tea so to speak i was skeptical first i initially wanted 15'' borbets coz they kinda look like trail dusters but noone had them with a black face n didnt feel like painting n all that i wouldnt mind to have the rear ones widened abit
