Default Storm conversion

Hi, bought a Schumacher storm (club ten i think) recently, I have the intention of 'converting' it to a cougar. What parts will i need to do the conversion apart from the obvious wheels and body mounts?
Any advice appreciated.
Thank you

Sorry for not clarifying, yes, it's EP.
Not received it yet, ( think its from an oople member) but from pics I've seen it's missing a few parts..... Majority of it looks to be there and looks quite tidy, I'll wait and see when it arrives.
Thanks for the info ;-)

There's not much you need beyond Cougar wheels and body/wing to be honest. I can't remember if the front shocks were longer on the Storm, but they were on it's older brother the Shotgun. Either way long shocks were good on the Cougar.

I'm assuming this is the aluminium pan Storm not the Storm 2000 which has an S1 chassis like the Cougar 2000?

Paul.

Nice score.....

Its a storm club 10 with the geared transmission and looks like its got ballraced steering and black tranny plates not bad for that price

Like has been said wheels and a shell/wing you got a nice buggy

Cool!, thanks for the info, was thinking of upgrading the shocks at some point too. its coming with the black plastic ones. Also, with it being a geared transmission, does it use tranny plates both sides?? as im sure there is one missing in the picture.?
Thanks alot for your help Mick,

Craig

Fair play Mick, thats very good of you.
I could do with trying to find out the lengths of the turnbuckles it needs too. Might treat it to the schumacher purple 'bling' type, just to spruce it up a bit lol
I know i have asked alot of questions, and i do appreciate any help i can get.
Thanks a lot
