| Other Notes: | | I have about 50 miles of test drives on it now with a max of 55mph so far. Can also be seen on EVALBUM. Will squeal the tires now with the new soliton1 set at 96v to the motor. I'm being gentle, I'd like to drive it a little before I blow up the transaxle! My insurance company thinks its a dune buggy, so they are dropping my insurance on it. I guess its time to start building the body.
Working on body, See photos!!!
So far about $6000 (I was guessing 3-4k) OOPS!! add another $2800 for the new Soliton1!!!
Here's a breakdown:
VW front beam & rear transaxle $250,
Pair adjustable coil over shocks $380,
Brake pedal/hoses/fittings $700,
Wheels & Tires $300,
Shift linkage parts $210,
Misc VW parts $310,
Seat $100,
Battery tiedown ratchet straps $20,
Paint $130,
Steel pipe/tubing/box $350,
Aluminum plate/sheet $50,
Misc fasteners $150,
Motor $1200,
Gauges- GPS & battery level $300,
Switches & breakers $340,
Wire/lugs/terminals/boots $550,
Lights & indicators $200,
Old batteries and steering wheel I already had, as well as most of the tools. I will be buying new batteries soon.
This isn't exact but overall pretty close. Some receipts I'm sure were missing but I also had extra stuff like wire, terminals, and metal. Some metal was wasted during construction due to mistakes or changes, of course more changes than mistakes!
Now add to that the body...
3/8" bending plywood 6 or 7 sheets @ $50 ea.
At least 3 gallons of epoxy so far @ $100 gal.
Half a roll of 6 oz glass so far, don't remember $$$ .
epoxy fairing compound (haven't used much yet) $100 gal.
plus...
New LED headlights $480.
New LED taillights $175.
New LED marker lights $25.
Body is not complete nor is it attached to the chassis yet.
Progressing a little slow because I recently added QUASAR an old 36' Willard trawler to my small fleet of boats. Been spending a lot of time hanging out....I mean working on the boat! |
