Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I'm about to pick up a bare Jimny frame for 15$ today (gotta love eBay ).
Now what to do with it ? I thought about building a mid engine buggy using some FWD automatic drivetrain and maybe some MK/MQ axles
Any other ideas ?

Supercharged V6 with CVT auto. Always wanted to build one of those!

Ooooohh... ladder frame chassis you can do LOTS with that

The frame turned out to be just a 6 month old one changed against a new one under warranty by Suzuki because of a stress crack at the front panhard rod bracket. So rewelding and reinforcing and ready to go

make a dune buggy out of it =P something REALLLLLLL fast with a reallll low COG.

Or you could take it to Simsmetal, cash it in, buy some tube and do it the easy way.

Trying to make a chassis to work so far outside its parameters (mid mount engine or FWD running North South) will cost you more and take you longer than just building a buggy.

Coily mounts are handy for conversions on leafies though.

Yeah, you might be right. I'm still debating with myself. Maybe it'll just end up as a funmobile for my kids to play with. Throw some Sierre engine in and Sierra axles with homemade links, give it a buggy body and go for it. I just built a complete Sierra to play with with just parts laying around on the shelfs in my shop and discovered that I could build another one or two with the remaining parts
