What are you using for base vehicles when you build those?

[Milliding]

Both Fords and Chevy's. More Fords than Chevy's tho.

4. Just get a pre 86 Toyota and tube it out!

A transaxle unit of an FWD car, placed in the rear of the buggy, is the cheapest route...

Off course you can make one with expensive purpose built transaxles and suspensions, but when you use the suspension of an 1100 kg car, it can take quite some abuse when it just has to carry a 5-600 kg buggy...

I cant post links here, but if you co to tractorbynet dot com, and search the forum for volvo buggy, you can find a photo diary of my buggy build.

If you buy a very common model of front wheel drive car, you can strip the pedals with brake cylinder, steering wheel, gear stick and a complete transaxle, for little money.

Then all you'd need is another front end WITHOUT the engine and driveshafts, to use in the front of the buggy.

okay thank you very much!

[NightXriderX]

i'd like a light rear wheel drive

[RenzeZielman]

I am building one, based on a Volvo 440 1.9 intercooled TD... This engine has 90 hp and the buggy is 500 kg right now... I can tweak to 120 hp by just turn that fuel pump open and adjust the turbo waste gate opening pressure.

The best thing about this TD engine, is that it doesnt need electronic igntion or controls so getting wet doesnt hurt it, and i can use agricultural low tax diesel ;)
