Look good, I like the way its essentially a road car being ragged round a woods. The only reason it seems to make it is it weighs next to nothing.
I've done a few 4x4 things, and often prefer leaving it in 2wd, as its much more fun. Though it was always nice to have 4wd for when I got
stuck!
Shame the build cost just went up by nearly a quarter due to IVA costs!

why slowly? surely there's not much to them at all? we were discussing the funnbuggy at work and it looks like 95% of the thing could be built from just scrap cars
These are great little machines! Looking forward the the K series engined one, that could tempt me.

I've be 4x4 for years Landys, SJ etc. I like what I see would be intresting to turn up to a RTV in one of those or a 4x4 version...... Got me
thinking now
Because I was planning to get rid of the Landy anyway! and the Indy is damn near finished..........

Here's a word version of the build manual. It's been updated a little since then, but not a lot.
