I would definitely do this if the following things could be accomplished (pretty easy stuff) :

- keep it legal for road use (throw on some LED turn signals, brake lights, etc)

- Keep it highway driveable (easy)

- make a flip-down windshield for off-road use

- 4 seats!

 

I would totally sacrifice a EA82 car for that if I could keep driving it on the street...

I have a beat-to-heck Loyale that's eagerly awaiting a transformation like this... let's do it.

 

Only thing is...that much tube has to be spendy! :-\

And I have no welding or tube bending skills...(or equipment) - but by the looks of your recent projects, you sure as heck do!

Keeping the windshield wipers would be sweet...

That thing look cool as hell! I too am working on a buggy, just starting actually. I will be watching your build closely.Here's a youtube video to keep us motivated.

There's a subaru powered dune buggy for sale on craigs in Prescott Az. . It's been on for 2 or 3 days. Going for 500.00.

I would like to make a bunch of Subaru based buggies , basically take one Doner car a EA81 or EA82 , make a light steel framework of tubing, add all the Stock subaru components , add some fiberglass panels and or steel or aluminum panels, we could use my shop , if I had say 3-5 guys that could dedicate 1 or 2 nights a week we could design and build them in a batch , would need money up front to buy all the supplies, you provide your own Doner car, my personal favorite would be a EA82 with dual range and add a EJ22

 

something like these, that you guys think? anyone in NW WA that would be interested ?

 

 

 

 

 

Been there done that!

My Buggy is a modified version of the two pics above.

Subarus make a great starting point for buggies!

I think its funny that when the "normal" 4x4 rigs have a problem doing something the solution is to add a lift and bigger tires, or more HP.

 

OUR solution however it to bust out the sawsall!!!

My old mechanic up here in BC had an old ea82 buggie. It was really cool. I'll try and dig up some photos.

You have to use photobucket or picasa or flickr or some photo hosting site and paste the pics url to get pics here.

A local guy built this, details are here: http://www.pvpmedia.com/SG1.htm
