I Figured id clue everyone in on what ive been doing all winter....

Ive always wanted to put a 4g63 into a dune buggy for the hell of it.
After the 2008 shootout i decided to go for it. My buggy is already street legal and is a berian frame with a 7piece fiberglass body. To date i have totaly stripped the frame down and repainted it. Replaced the tierods,upr/lwr ball joints,wheel bearings,shocks,brakes. I will be redoing all the brake lines and wiring. Currently this will be using a VW 3-rib swing axel trans.
