well I got a killer deal couldn't turn down. $150 for a 1993 loyale 5 speed 4X4.
my plan.... tube buggy with subaru drivetrain.
as of now the only problem is that the clutch is very gone I got no papers as the guy i bought it from returned the plates and sold it to me as a parts car and last but not least it has no exhaust broke off at y pipe.
my question is....I never had a chance to look under it, but do these cars have a subframe up front?
basicaly my plan is to keep every attached to the subframe and then build my own fram off that and then roll cage and what not. lookign for a trail buggy, nothign extreme just somethign to have a little fun with my GF's daughter and to help haul some wood for winter heat and maybe eventualy a redneck plow on the front.
i wana cut the floor right where the firewall is and leave the firewall front all intack and make the rest custom as i go.
anyone see any problems doing this?
I would love to just use the motor tranny and rear. but worry about stearring geomatry and what not. all ideas and pics will be rgeatly appreciated.
also...if my clutch is bad...since it won;t be on the road..can i just change the clutch? or should i get a full kit? 30$ compared to 170$ is a big difference for budget builds
