Had a couple setbacks after adding fluids. Had a big transmission fluid leak that was my fault. Couple years ago when I changed from running a Sami t-case to the doubler setup, I pulled the tail housing off the transmission and I never replaced the gasket. And I just forgot about that after all that time had passed. So I had to pull the doubler and order a gasket that came in today, so I'll have it back together this weekend.
Had a couple minor leaks from a few brake fittings and a couple small coolant leaks but nothing serious.
I did get the vinyl in for the body panels. Did a couple small pieces to see how the color looked and to get the hang of installing it. The honeycomb section is painted black now, forgot to take a picture of it afterwards.

Huge thanks to @Dirkadirka875 for doing all the wiring on the buggy. Was able to drive it on and off the trailer when I picked it up.
Here is a short video of how it sounds, not bad for a weepow buggy. I didn't want it to be loud or raspy.
Been working on it as I have time since I got it back home. Interior is back in and done for now. I plan to pull the dash back out over the winter and paint it but I just want to get a few rides in before then.
To Do list
- bleed brakes more
- bleed steering
- charge air shocks
- adjust links
- vinyl wrap body panels
- nut and bolt check everything
- put rope on winch
- verify transmission & steering cooler fans work

Not much progress lately, our daughter was born on August 11th so all my time has been spent with her. Hopefully in a few more weeks I'll be able to sneak off for a few hours and get a shakedown run at URE.
Was able to get started on the vinyl this week. Got both of the large side panels and the hood done. Still have the roof and the smaller side panels left to do.

Whole buggy turned out great but that dash/console is killer. Really like that you wrapped behind the gauges too.

That dash is purty, it's an art plain and simple what some can do. I'm not one of those!
