monstaru Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 I would definitely do this if the following things could be accomplished (pretty easy stuff) :- keep it legal for road use (throw on some LED turn signals, brake lights, etc) - Keep it highway driveable (easy) - make a flip-down windshield for off-road use - 4 seats! I would totally sacrifice a EA82 car for that if I could keep driving it on the street... what are you doin in the spring?:grin:find a car.i'll offer my skills.cheers. brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing is...that much tube has to be spendy! :-\ And I have no welding or tube bending skills...(or equipment) - but by the looks of your recent projects, you sure as heck do!

Sweet82 Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I would like to make a bunch of Subaru based buggies , basically take one Doner car a EA81 or EA82 , make a light steel framework of tubing, add all the Stock subaru components , add some fiberglass panels and or steel or aluminum panels, we could use my shop , if I had say 3-5 guys that could dedicate 1 or 2 nights a week we could design and build them in a batch , would need money up front to buy all the supplies, you provide your own Doner car, my personal favorite would be a EA82 with dual range and add a EJ22 something like these, that you guys think? anyone in NW WA that would be interested ? Been there done that! My Buggy is a modified version of the two pics above. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/album.php?albumid=54 Subarus make a great starting point for buggies!

Uberoo Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I think its funny that when the "normal" 4x4 rigs have a problem doing something the solution is to add a lift and bigger tires, or more HP. OUR solution however it to bust out the sawsall!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
