buggy build (Pics!)

Fez_uk · 10-06-2012, 18:56

Me and my mates have been and building this rwd red-diesel buggy. We spend a day here and there working on it.

It's based on a ford escort engine, subframe fronts. Pretty much build as we go along so very much scrapheap challenge.

The donor car:

Engine out, We also had it running on the ground to make sure we had marked all the electrics correct.

Stage today, It rolls and turns but we need to stick more struts to the front suspension next. But it rolls so makes it easier to get out to work on it.
