So a few days later I decided to pull the prop shaft off and see what is the problem there. It was not as easy as I thought it would be and one thing led to another...

And I just couldn´t stop myself pulling the bits off

I got to this point as I was just waiting for some parts for it from USA and thought I might as well give it a fresh coat of paint. I ordered new universals, slip yoke, wishbone bushes, ball joints, tie rods, and wheel bearings. The parts are slowly turning up so I will be busy soon.

I didn´t want to spray the paint over the rust so I got out the sandblaster and had about 3 hours of fun with it:

I took about 200kg of sand and I got it fairly clean.

 

As it was a nice day I just kept on going with the project:

I didn´t really wanna paint it black again so I thought I´ll choose something more interesting. I know most of it will be covered by the plastics anyway but hey, I know itś there

The wishbones and other frame bits will be painted black again as I don´t want it to look too KTM.

The rear tub (or box) is broken beyond repair so I am looking for a second-hand one. New is about 900 Australian dollars which is bit too much for me. If I can´t find one I might look into building one myself as I am planning to build the doors anyway.
There is a video of the sandblasting and painting on youtube and again, I don´t wanna add the link but if you search my username you will find it.
Next steps will be painting all the bits and pieces and then start putting it back together

 

Looking good I like the new frame color
Is that and Alfa I spy in the back ground

 

Thanks, on the background is Volvo 242GT, another project

 

Very Nice! not sure why you wouldn't be allowed to post videos from YouTube but as someone who appreciates builds this looks like a fun project!

 

Thanks, I don't know for sure if it was the video or what got me...

As I am not too familiar with RZR-s, is there anything else to check or improve while it's all in bits?

RZR 570 New Owner FAQ/Alert Some compiled info for new 570 owners from users feedback, etc... There is far more im sure, feel free to edit, correct or add as needed... I compiled from memory of items that I had to do and reading forum reports of other users experiences..... Maybe if we can get...

I am not too familiar with the 570 but there is a lot of good info on this Forum good luck!

 

Looking great! Love seeing these things come back to life.

 

As the seats were beyond repair in my RZR I was looking for second-hand ones. There was I guy on the other side of Australia who was willing to sell his for 100 bucks but the freight would have cost 600... So I ended up buying these together with the harness:

I just don´t know how well they would fit in there and how easy will be getting in and out.

 

It's already been few weeks since the last post. I have been busy with some other things but still managed to get little bit done.

Cleaning and painting the wishbones took sooo long. Wish I had sandblasted them but I just didn't feel like setting the blaster up again so I just kept on going.

I had to repair the broken engine mount and put new bushings in the wishbones and I could finally start the puzzle.

Now it is getting more interesting again as it is not far from being a roller again.

As before, moving picture is here:

 

Might look at gusset kits for the frame.

 

Any particular one you would recommend?

 

Lonestar racing makes a few kits . Gilbert designs makes frame repair sections for differentials.

 

So I am still getting there. Not too far now...
I managed to build the frame for one seat, one more to go.

This is how they sit

Thought I will paint the roll cage black but as most of the frame gets covered by plastics I decided to go with the orange.

Painting the bolts:

And the most recent video of things:

 

Not too much to talk about really but little bit still:

This is the passenger seat bracket I made. I was gonna use the base of the original seat but I found some cracks there so decided not to use it.

It is looking like something again. As you can see the passenger seat is just a bit lower because of the different brackets.

And that's pretty well done, there will be some additions to it still which I will talk about when I get there
And the video of the last bit (with some skids and jumps):

 

I literally just watched all your YouTube videos over the last few days while on vacation. Didn't know you had a thread here too.

You did a great job on those videos by the way. And a very great job on the rebuild of that 570. [emoji122]

looks good the orange is a good choice. I happen to really like my 570 does everything we need it to do

 

Ya I like the white and orange colors!
Well and black.
Looks great!

 

Not much has happened recently. I have got the wrap for it but have had no time to try to wrap it. Just a quick ride today with wife and kids:
