September 18, 200520 yr haha those are cool, killer departure angle, it looks like it would flip backwards
September 18, 200520 yr 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...
September 18, 200520 yr With the car chopped and lightened I don't think you would have to worry about running 29's.
September 19, 200520 yr 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!
October 10, 200520 yr Author 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

October 11, 200520 yr 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!

October 12, 200520 yr Author Is that a shortened wagon or a cut up justy? neither. one hint its not a subaru
October 12, 200520 yr neither. one hint its not a subaru We don't care about that hack job 2WD Metro. Bring on the shortend wheel base 4WD Subaru.
October 12, 200520 yr We don't care about that hack job 2WD Metro. Bring on the shortend wheel base 4WD Subaru. Geez, you guys are rough on the man. the next pic we see better be of a cut up subaru, or im just gonna stop looking at this post. I can just see Scott losing days worth of sleep over that. lol
October 12, 200520 yr Geez, you guys are rough on the man. It's a hacked metro on a Subaru board; what did he expect? A round of applause? That thing is flat out unsafe.
October 12, 200520 yr Hats off to Scott, It's innovation and trial and error that has brought these old Subarus to the point where they are now. I commend you on your sawzall abilities! Start the project! Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 84 GL 01 Forester
October 12, 200520 yr Heres one of my last uniboby transfermations SJR Does it come with a "roll me over" bumper sticker? I love it! Like some sorta poor mans MAD MAX Road warrior moble
October 12, 200520 yr 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
October 12, 200520 yr looks unsafe and very ghetto Really? Getto huh? I don't see where your coming from on that one? How can you call that getto?
October 12, 200520 yr Really? Getto huh? I don't see where your coming from on that one? How can you call that getto? that looks more red neck than getto
October 13, 200520 yr 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.
October 13, 200520 yr Author , 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,
