soobmater Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 haha those are cool, killer departure angle, it looks like it would flip backwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phizinza Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 So where you planning to put the radiator? I have thought about cutting the front and rear off a wagon because the radiator is the only thing in the way. from what i can see.. Why only 27" tires? I run 27" mudders on my 2" lifted Brat. 6" should get 29"s on there, or are you worried about low range being to high. Alwasys a problem...

Shadyirishmen Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 With the car chopped and lightened I don't think you would have to worry about running 29's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorganM Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 With the car chopped and lightened I don't think you would have to worry about running 29's. Or 31"s with a 6" lift. I run 29"s on my 3" lift! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott in Bellingham Posted October 10, 2005 Author Share Posted October 10, 2005 my latest comp photothis one would require a T-case and front diff and front drive moved ahead , would have awesome aprouch angle and good weight distibution, just a idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archemitis Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 ok, if and or when this happens i want to see where your welds lay. i want good pics of how close the front and rear line up, and how many beads of weld(or how much overlaping) you need to make it all solid. the roll bar looks like it will be the majority of the structural integrity. the next pic we see better be of a cut up subaru, or im just gonna stop looking at this post. every project i have ever tackled was completed, or scraped within 1 month of the initial idea/post... get to it!

Sweet82 Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Hats off to Scott, It's innovation and trial and error that has brought these old Subarus to the point where they are now.

archemitis Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Heres one of my last uniboby transfermations SJR that roll cage would do more damage than good... did you guys ever see that monster garage with the girls building stuff? jesse came up and ripped their whole roll cage out, because it would do more harm than good, in a roll over... well im not saying you build stuff like a girl, but it is a geo... looks unsafe and very ghetto and its not a shortened wheel base. i was welding seats into my hatch this morning, and i remember just how thin unibodies are. this thread realy doenst deserve any more of my time with stuff like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archemitis Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 its mainly that long piece of square stock holding up the whole "cage". that one piece of squarestock is too long, and not strong enough. thats the worse part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott in Bellingham Posted October 13, 2005 Author Share Posted October 13, 2005 , but it is a geo... and its not a shortened wheel base. this thread realy doenst deserve any more of my time with stuff like that been shortened 6" under stock. also angled up at joint to produce more clearance . we really had a lot of fun with this one, took it to the sand dunes , went better in reverse on steep hills, I eventully put a top on it , finished the front and put alum sheet over the door holes and drove it on the road, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
