Are there any pictures of the 1998 buggy you are wanting to duplicate?

Are you looking to restore it for running or the shelf ? Do you want it as if it was new, or like it was raced?

I’m gonna convert it to a runner and hopefully take it racing It doesn’t really matter the condition as long as it makes me happy

Update the person I got this from thought it would be a good idea to glue the hydradrive together so I have to order that but in other news I have rebuilt the transmission with associated carbide balls and stealth transmission grease

Gluing the hydradrive together sounds like destroying the hydradrive. What would be the purpose of that? To make it so it can't slip?
