I am new to the forum and interested in building a 2 seater off road type bigger cart/mini-dune buggy. I want it to have racing style seats and to be pretty big, and have a roll cage assembly, shocks, and other optional uprgades too.
I initially was going to do and I would like to build a street legal vehicle like a dune buggy but it seems that the only way to do this is to track down old VW parts and incorporate them. I really do not want to do that. I would kind of like to builds them or be able to go to a website and buy the parts if needed. I also dont want to spend 6-10K on one building it. I would be comfortable in the 3-5K range if I was building it as I could spread out the payments and buy stuff as I need it.
I have searched the internet for some good plans to start from but just cant seem to come across anything that looks like what I want. Does anyone have any plans they can provide or point me in the right direction.
Is it all possible to do what I want. Can you make something yourself that is street legal so I don't have to worry about getting introuble with someone everytime I take it out on the streets.
If this is not possible, can someone give me some ideas on something similar?
