Dude, I KNOW you're not claiming Pittsburgh PA is cooler than any where in California...

I think pommies call em "Trekkers" you can check out the samba dot com to see what I am talking about if you want. They have a whole section on em.

I might be able to get a VW thing w/ a bad motor for about 2k, any input as to the possibilty of putting a sube motor into it, my concern was initially how to plumb it. I have seen Things on the 'net for up to almost 30 grand and was thinking it might be a good investment and a fun toy as well.

75 bucks is a rippin deal, I love the black rims, thats what I wnat on my next car.

Thanx guys, I was thinking more along the lines of tearing down Mexican roads, but not full race speed. I have friends who can fabricate so I can fer shure get a cage built. I like the idea of building a subie powered buggy though, that would be pretty trick, maybe find a chassis pre built and drop the motor in w/ the KED adapter to a bus trans. It sure would be cool to be the only guy wheelin down in mexico with a wagon all tricked out though.

I read the thread about how capable the 'subes are off road and I am curious about what kind of 'wheelin' you are doing? Is it mostly crawling and slow stuff or are you guys doing some Baja/desert kind of stuff too? I am looking to get back into desert off roading but don't want to build a truck and I eventually want to take my son and nephew so a baja bug is out. it seems like a subie is a good low cost high fun way to go off roading, with three or four seats but i am curious if I would rip the thing apart on a (somewhat) hi speed run from Tecate down to Mikes Skyranch and back. Any one in the west coast looking to unload a mid 80s prebuilt car i could convert to a prerunner?
