Bought a buggy

[youngengineer]

Hi everyone, for the first time I actually have a proper build thread to post!! I picked up this buggy for £50 and am going to make it decent, just thought I'd post how it went

It looks like you have a great roller to start with, and got it at a great price. Is there anything wrong with it that you can see?

Just surface rust and front bumper slightly bend. What's the best way to remove rust

That Buggy looks to be in decent shape as stated. As for rust removal, sand blast, acid dip or buy a 4' wire cup brush for your grinder and go at it.

That's actually pretty darn cool! I like the look it has..... If its a homemade contraption, someone did a decent job of putting it together..... Good score! Not don't screw it up from here. No short cuts..... Let's get this done in proper fashion..... (as $$$ allows.... )

Ye that's my plan, it may take a lot longer but I'm gonna do it good and proper, make it look nice

Some how found a scraped lawn tracter with a wheel fallen off, couldn't take it as it was on a farm scrap heap with broken fences ect. But...the wheel looked good...so I shoved it in my aunties car...and took it...shhhh!! My plan is to weld the axle to the back to make it look like a spare wheel?? Gonna be getting on with rust removing after school days... If I get time

Why would you need to remove rust????? I thought it was already scraped??????.

Sorry.....I couldn't help myself. ........
