Street Buggies!!

[Snatch Napkin]

I need all the street buggy ideas possible so that I might have a chance to narrow what I actually want and possibly dodge the "shiny new toy-itis" with my next purchase.

Here's a rail that I absolutely love, along with a bodied buggy that I think is cool as well.

A couple more.

I've found a few corsair buggies. Hopefully I can find this one project I saw yesterday. Those really make it wiggle.


This one put down 366hp to the wheels.

I'd like a street legal hunting buggy, like this

I would build something like this

[Babe Tomahawk]

Dig it

[Snatch Napkin]

I'm not looking to build one. As finicky as I am with toys, I can't really stick with projects long enough to see them through.

Ideally, I would like to trade some of my projects for a buggy.

Post number 7 is what really got my interest in a decent handling street buggy many years ago. I would make sure it had all of it's lug nuts, though. lol

[MattB]

I would build something like this

That looks more like a Lotus Super 7 kit than a street buggy. If you're into that search "Locost". Tons of inexpensive home-builds that look like that.

Yeah that thing is awesome.. there's tons of VW based buggies up here for 1-2k Robert... roadtrip?

I wish mine were able to be registered... i wonder how difficult branding it as a home built would be.

[Snatch Napkin]

If I'm going to buy one, then I need to clear out some of my fox bodies. If Jeremy (Whiteboy) would get off his ass and buy my GT, then I'd be set to bring in a new toy.

Why can't you register yours? Turn signals and horn are easy add ons.

[lowthreeohz]

Oregon won't allow any OHV on the road, regardless of lights and shit.

it already has headlights, turn signals, mirrors, horn, etc too.

[Snatch Napkin]

That sucks.

Too bad I don't have a frame table, steel, tubing bender, welder, and WRX drivetrain. That would make one helluva street buggy.

One of these days....

[lowthreeohz]

Even a little b16 honda with some work done would be a blast in a sub thousand pound buggy.

[GrayStangGT]

That first one is awesome looking, I've always wanted one I can drive on the street.

This one is for sale in Brownwood for $4500

Is that a fair price for one like that?
