yeah i used a rolled tc i cut the roof off then welded a full roll cage in after i noticed it start to bow in the middle sandwich the floor between 2 bits of rhs on each
side and attach the cage to that, the rear was held up by torana shocks and stock springs with 6 inches of kingswood coils welded to each one, it had stock wheels with chain wraped around them , exhaust was a straight pipe out the
side, bullbar was welded to bumpermounts with braces up each side gaurd i also had a fiat electric fan hooked up
because it over heated doing slow work carry an endless chain with ya cause it got stuck a few times against trees
in drains etc
if you wanted a full on buggy you could
strip al the panels off or something i was thinking about it before mine died , the bull bar was all right but the rest of the front end wasn't brocken springs wishbones etc
all up it cost $120 dollars including tralier hire when i bought it
good luck
ps it would be a shitload easir to just make a chaisis
and use gemi runin gear |
