I have a workshop for model engineering which has a 12"x36" lathe, mill drill, shaper, drill presses, and angle grinders but almost all of this buggy can be made with hand tools. It just means you have to buy a few more parts so it becomes more costly.

Bernd:
Yup, your right :worthless:

Sounds like you've got the whole thing under control. Hope you make out with selling the parts.

By the way, I went to that site, I like the accessories that come with these carts. I didn't know they came in sets though. :lol:

jones:
Yeah, you can buy the karts in kit form and weld them together yourself. However, mine is 100% built in house to save money, and build my welding and fabrication skills. Will have pics soon when I finish.

jones:
OK, I have done a bit more since the last update. HAVE PICS!

Close up of the bars which I added to the front of the frame:

Put on the rear suspension mounts:

Cut the frame :scratch:

Then welded it back together 20mm downwards. The HUGE Suzuki engine won't fit otherwise :headbang:

I also bought two shocks from a yamaha XT-550. Unfortunately the designer of the Edge buggies says that I will have to upgrade the springs in them to make them work properly. I will see how it goes.
