My wee scrap takes shape

[yoshie]

Almost finished my wee mud plugger.
I wont bore you with the whole build so here is the last few jobs.
It had it's first outting last weekend at the SMC Bash and ran well. I have a 1.6 vit engine to transplant and hope to do this in the next week or so. This should give excellent weight to bhp figures as it's only around 700kg and the vit pus out close to 100bhp.

Cage going on



Roof on



Running gear swapped out front and rear


Complicated binical and dash started


Finished


New crossmember in to hold the new munro dampers donated by a mate


Rear and tray back finished


Nearly there, just some stickers for the weekend to go


Not Surf sized but then it's not the one stuck in this picture


Back from it's first weekend in the mud

Nice work there, that man......that looks very erm....unstoppable!

Why have you got a glass break hammer in it, when the only glass is the small bit in front of you - rather than the expanses of glasslessness all around???

Reminds me of a shrunken Korean War era jeep. Like it!

[RodLeach]

Fantastic!!


I'd love a buggy type thingy.. running silly big tyres!

Had hoped for comedy value.

[MudSurfer]

Had hopped for comedy value.

It worked - made me laugh out loud!

[POPEYE]

Nice one Yoshie, love it, now i would'nt mind doing a bit of off roading in that as opposed to buggering up my one and only means of transport, tow it there, have fun without worry, tow it home, (and fix it) excellent work mate

Richard I told him last night.
BDT yep mate it is mainly SJ 410, Sammy 413 and Vitara with a few custom parts.

Guys thanks for the comments, I got a good few days help from Kerrsurf so a big thanks to him.
The plan was to try and get a usable toy together for not much money. We had a laugh building it and a bigger laugh driving it. Once the new engine and box goes in it will owe me less than a grand.
Probably over 80hr free labour thou.
The wife is away a Med Crusie on Tue with her mates so plenty brownie points going back in the bank So I will run it till after our Sep bash at least, then it may go to make room for a wee winter build. {don't mention it to her in Aug Jess}

[KERRSURF]

richard, pm'ed you mate.

Aye, I enjoyed building the wee truck, great fun to drive and goes anywhere!
