I haven't had much to do on the Civic for the last few weeks, so as usual started to get itchy fingers... I'd managed to hold off working on one of my own projects for about three weeks - didn't take long to crack
Always fancied building an off road buggy and with a rack full of tube and probably enough donor parts lying about in the workshop, thought why the hell not?! So, here's progress so far - had about 10 hours on it in between jobs over the last week and it's just about at the point now where it's photo-worthy at least. It really puts into perspective how easy this is without having to work around a bodyshell as I usually am with the rollcages!
The main outline of the frame is just about there now, so need to start mounting up the engine and working out how I'll mount suspension/steering components.
Anyway, here's some pictures - will post some more as I go along.
And finally, to put in to perspective how bloody small this thing is.. These are 15" wheels.
