I'll post some pix to this thread this weekend.

I find that I am not driving the Goblin nearly as much as I expected to. Last year I put 49 .miles on it. Time to move it along to someone who can enjoy it. Comes with a DFKC tow bar, towing lights and harness. Front bumper with skid plate. My build log is here...

I shattered the lens trying to get to the bulb to change it the day before my inspection.. There's no way to disassemble the DF supplied mirrors.

RG's Goblin #455 titled and registered in Ohio! Now to get it insured......

Side view after installing OEM springs that haven't been shortened in the rear. That gets me 7 inches of ground clearance. I expect to gain another half inch when I install new tires.

For the horn, I'm just going to run a new wire from the switch, tap off the battery and install a stand-alone relay.

I'm going to swap out the rear springs this weekend to get me some more ground clearance in the rear and correct some excess negative camber. I'll take some side profile pictures afterwards. Also, the tires on the car now are not the ones I will ultimately use. Current tires are low profile...

Flipped control arms got me about 1.5 - 2 inches of additional ground clearance. The appearance of positive camber is distortion in the photo. There's actually a little negative camber. Getting the front end (and rear) aligned is still on my to-do list. The DF design on the front suspension...

I have been chasing a couple of really strange electrical gremlins. I've about convinced myself they are caused by the BCM. None of them make the car undrivable or unsafe. They just annoy the crap out of me! - horn doesn't work if the headlights are on. Works fine with lights off. -...

Goblin #455 has passed inspection in Ohio. Plan to get her title and registration tomorrow and she will be street legal. The inspector was a stand-up guy who overlooked a few minor problems. One of which was the fact that the left front signal light didn't work. It was literally working day...

Thanks, Kelvin1e, , I already got the springs I needed from Trae. Franklin, OH

Thanks Gtstorey, I already got the springs I needed from Trae.

The Amazon manual wiper comes with a 8mm ID (approx 12 mm OD) threaded tube, so you need a 12mm hole thru the windscreen and bracket. This is a little large for the lever they provide. I substituted a 7mm tube instead.

Like Chris-WNC I am using a UTV manual wiper from Amazon . I plan to remove it after inspection. And yes, it's several inches taller than the windscreen. RANSOTO UTV Windshield Wiper Kit with Wiper Blade Compatible with Polaris Ranger RZR General Can Am Maverick X3 Commander Golf Cart Hand...

Anyone using the rear coilover kit for their build, I would love to take the donor coil springs off your hands. I'm not using the coilover kit; staying with the donor parts. I cut a coil off my springs per the build videos, and it took too much off of my ride height. Also I think it gave me...

Scheduled my inspection appointment; first available was three weeks out

The only other known item needed for the inspection is the windshield wiper. I've bought a manual wiper on Amazon. Have other builders using a manual wiper drilled a hole in the windshield? Need advice on mounting it.

Got my front bumper/skid plate installed. One step closer to inspection and registration. (Ohio requires front and rear bumpers). . . I don't plan to keep the rear bumper after inspection; exhaust will probably blister the paint.

I had a related issue with a potential solution to your problem. I destroyed the anti-theft ring on my ignition switch. The replacement I bought from the junkyard was from an automatic (vs my manual). The automatic ignition switch has a solenoid lock tied to the shifter so you can't turn the...
