Looking for help building buggy

[R.Drifter]

Glad I found this forum. I am looking for a winter project. I am new to this form and signed up to find info on building a buggy. I bought a 83 GL wagon a couple years ago to use engine on a hovercraft I was building. I found a lighter 1.6 and used it instead. The car ran good but is a rust bucket with 120K. It has a 4 speed hi/lo trans. I currently have a Polaris 800 Crew that does a great job but does not turn very tight and can not be made street legal. Looks like a great project and I see a lot of expertise in the suggestions on this sight. Looks like it is time to clean out a bay in shop and get started. I have been looking at several home builds on line that came out looking great.
