It was suggested that I start a build thread on here. I am usually not good about keeping up with these but I will do my best to change that.
I am new to snowcats however I have done various vehicle builds in my lifetime including but not limited to a 1998 supercharged honda civic, 1992 plymouth laser rs awd 2.4 liter frankenstein motor (ran 11s before I sold it), dodge stealth tt awd aws, 2005 Subaru STI with 500whp, 2005 Subaru BAJASTI build from the ground up complete with mattracks and a 6" lift, 1998 LMTV overlander we affectionately call Abel (we love this truck) and now this a 1980s era thiokol spryte with a rusted out body and a good frame....
I have a youtube channel that I keep a vlog very active on anytime I do something build related and it is the best place to see my progress on any of the builds I have done (since the 2005 STI). YouTube.com/seanfillner
I love the snow and have always had a desire to "Conquer" it with various vehicles.
To get you guys caught up to where I am today I have already chopped up the body down to the frame rails (the rust was overwhelming and had to go). This also allows me to make improvements that I see fit as I go along with this build. In my mind I can see the end result of my build which may take me a year or two to complete but as with every build I take on I will keep moving forward... I plan on building Rusty in a way that I feel they should have been built from the factory with updated parts and pieces of course....
My latest build episode should be up later today on my channel if you care to check it out.
Some pics as I go along will be added to this post.....
Thanks.
