As the heading stated. How long should it take too build a buggy.

Posted: **Sun Jul 10, 2005 5:58 pm**

anywhere from 2 weeks to a few years...it realy matters personal circumstance's and what you are building...

How long did u think before u asked this question

Posted: **Sun Jul 10, 2005 6:19 pm**

too many variables. this is a bad question to try and answer.

depends on the type of buggy, whether its from a chassis or scratch

wat parts u have and wat u have to buy, how much time u have to work on it, how much money u have.....

a fully committed project would take up to 2 weeks if all parts are available.

in the US one buggy was built in 5 days

RUFF's budgie was built in 9 days i think

mine - about 4/5 weeks (nearly complete) mainly becuase theres no rush as the next werock is 2 months away.

Adrians - 3 weeks i think for the second round of werock previously

It all depends on your finances, accessiblity to equipment such as tube bender, welder, notcher etc and most important of all - TIME... do you have the time to do it?

We will be at round 3 WE rock. The reason for asking is that it is taking alot longer than we thought to get this thing finished.

How long is a piece of string.
Depends on specs and available time.
We have built 2 chassis one took 2 days the other took nearly 2 weeks.
Knowing what you want before you start is a good idea.The last one we just finished took 7.5 hours judt to weld it all up.
If everything was on your side and there were no holdups i wreckon you could do 1 in 1-2 weeks.

it could also take 3 months since you've paid somebody for parts they said they'd have.

If you know what you are doing and you have got the engine/gearbox/transfer in one piece and have got the axles together then I think it should take take about 200hours.

To work out what it costs to build one takes a little longer.........but im working on it.
