This has been a long term, on again, off again project that I just have to get done. I bought the body for $400 when my oldest son was in junior high. He's now an electrical engineer for Harmon Kardon. That's how long its been hanging around. Between working way to much, a side business, and my street car that always to get first dibs, it doesn't get much attention. Anyway, my intention is to have it built far enough to put an ORV tag on it and be able to trail ride it by next spring. Initially it will be an almost stock 1600 air cooled that I will be building over the winter. Eventually it will either be a big turbo air cooled, or possibly a GM ecotec, or a TDI diesel vw. It also has a 094 bus trans, and roughly 16" of wheel travel at each corner with racerunner coilovers. So next is a lot more cage work, suspension work, and enough electrical and mechanicals to make it trail worthy. After that winter projects to finish it up. I am by no means a fabricator. But can struggle through it. Anyways, here's some pics and I will try to update it as it slowly moves along.
