4x4 kit and then mud-laning

It also has to cost me next to nothing in both time and money!

Have some crap photos anyway.

1 spare engine + gearbox + frontaxle (bleu Ami) = 1 SAHARA

Been giving this a lot of thought overthe last week or nso and think I'll probably be lifting it up to normal sort of ride height, fitting standard springs and front arms, a heater and a passenger seat and using it as a winter hack.

Seems a shame in a way as I reckon it wouldn't take much more than a weekend to put it on the track but, my arse is too big for the seat and my body is too old and fragile to drive around in something that low and hard these days!

Sahara's are great in winter
The extra heat from the back engine makes it nice and comfi inside the car.

Oh, and it would give you good roadhandling in the snow.

This weekend may well see me start to create the perfect winter hack for me.

Gone will be the tarmac hugging lowness and the bacon preserving cold of the inside to be replaced by ground clearance and a heater! There'll also be a pair of seats too once I've removed/modified the somewhat intrusive door bars.

Then, it's a chat with Steve Walford (car 55 at last weekends 24hr) who's said he'll make me a silencer so I can even hear myself think-pure luxury!

It was fun but, it'll be nice to be able to use it a little more often though.

Of course, I may not bother evn touching it and just fix the oil leak on the Ami instead..................

Will it be run on Toyos to start with

Just got in from work having spent 3 precious hours replacing a rear brake pipe on my Xantia (which the previous owner had just crushed meaning only 3 brakes on the car!) and really can't be arsed to go outside and work on this!

I really should do something with it but motivation is at an all time low, anybody got any spare motivation they can give me or even just a bit of inspiration?

I don;t know if this helps anyway "winterhack"

Operation "Winter hack" began yesterday-the old racer looks a bit odd at the moment but I'm sure I'll get used to it.



Other jobs needed are a couple of driveshaft boots, standard front arms, an exhaust with silencer/s, a heater, passenger seat, remove the door bars and probably a million other little jobs!

I didn't say which winter it would be done for.
