do it amigo style
I would do this..that way you stay dry when it rains...I would keep the door frame in the rear so the won't raddle around and to keep the chassis strong for jumping...I would cut out above the back seat..that may screw up he sunroof operation if it is a slider. this way you could stand up in the back seat and work spot light, etc. you could put a hoop behind the back seat at to serve as a leaning post and an oh **** handle/ shooting rest maybe welded to the roof behind the sunroof...this all could be made out of cheap pipe. then you could put a bikini top to cover all this up when the weather is bad....
I don't think the sunroof is a slider, so this may work. The driver's side glass is busted as is the windshield, but the rest of the door glass is fine so that would work, power windows! I was thinking no doors though, not a good idea? I could sell the doors on ebay/craigslist to recoup costs.
w/o doors beers/ ammo/ flashilights/ etc would roll out...no bueno
...
Update:
I traded my trashed tires at the messican tire shop in Princeton for 4 tires that held air and new valve stems. Cost was $35, the only # on the tires that match is the rim diameter, they are sweet.
I pressure washed all the mud off and vaccumed all the glass out of the inside. It's stuck in 4-low, and smells like it leaks a little oil, but it does good donuts and will go an-ee-where! I'll update a couple pics later.
I was thinking about selling it, but at this point I have $235 in a really kickass go-kart.
keep it. I say we go all out on this bad boy and make a proper huntin' buggie. complete w/ gun rest, beer holders, cooler tie downs, lots of lights and upgraded altenator. Stadium seating seat would be nice w/ gunrest....maybe build a crane on the back to hoist dead animals.
I'd say keep the doors but turn them into half doors for easy in/put and still be able to keep stuff from rolling out.
fit and finish is not important, form, function and free is. use scrap. You could pull it to my Dad's shop...there is plently of scrap there. Find a bus seat for the rear...may be high enough w/ the legs still attached.
flat rustoleum thinned down and tinted and we can use my airless spayer to shoot it.
i didnt realize you still had this thing... sweet
Shiloh......................Ridge................. Do it!
The thought has crossed my mind. I hate that it's stuck in 4wd. It does donuts ok, but would be much better if the stupid front wheels would stop pulling.Quote:

doesn't look half bad if you could figure out how to get it out of 4wd
Sounds like a problem for the buyer. :)Quote:

I priced the windows from a salvage yard at $350. Installing them is another matter, also not my problem.
