Hey Guys thanks for all the input....
  After talking with the family heres the direction the fleet is going...
1) Wifes 4dr
-  2.0L swap that I'm already building the parts for.
 (have already)
-  Little bigger tires (already have)
-  Skid plates (fabricate)
-  Some mean lights (fog and driving, already have)
ÂÂ
  This one will be the daily driver/trails and camping
2) Daughter's 2dr/2WD Soft top
  (already started, my 13yr old is doing as much work
   as me so she appreciates what she gets and
   knows how to fix it)
-  1.6/16v rebuilt, balanced/blueprinted, port matched
  intake mods, header and some other light weight stuff
  ( will use the one from wife's 4dr)
-  Lowered to 6" rocker panel clearance
-  Power steering (already have)
-  Modified KYB shocks
-  Double front sway bars, fabricate
-  Custom rear sway bar, fabricate
-  15X6" fronts with 195-50-15's (already have)
-  15X8" rears with  215-50-15's (already have)
-  Airdam, rear IMSA style body flares, fabricate
 This one is about 18months or more from being done as she HAS to work on it with me and is only worked on when she has time after homework and everything else.
 I think it will be a great first car, handle well and be cheap to run.
My project after much deliberation is going to be Dad's cheap skate test bed......
Pro Rally style.....
      I really like the name Rally-Kick!
Here's the reasoning.....
- Gonna have a good trail rig for the kinda stuff we do.
- Daughter is gonna have the Slammer
- Dad should get to have some fun!
- Car Club here has several Pro Rallys each spring
- Can still be an awesome trail rig.
- I like stiff good handling little rigs
The Plan....
- "do it yerself engine" exactly from the build up. (done)
- Body dropped a little (opposite of body lift), lower CofG
- Lowered a couple inches all around, lower CofG
- Double front sway bars, decrease body roll, fabricate
- Custom rear sway bar, decrease body roll, fabricate
- Modified KYB Rally Gas shocks
- Manual steering
- P215-60-15 Agressive All seasons (used)
- 4.62:1 gears front and rear
- Remains 4WD
- Locker when money permits (used)
- Interior gutted and Rhino Lined (the do it yerself stuff)
- Stock dash with tach and auxillary guages (already
 have)
- Lightweight front buckets with 4 points (already have)
- NO rear seats
- Roll Cage, fabricate, DIY
- Doors gutted, DIY
- Pexi windows, worked with straps and clips DIY
- Aluminum inner door panels DIY
- Basic am-fm-cassette (already have)
- Body repairs as needed (do it yerself)
- Old style Mustang GT bolt on hood scoop, functional
- Interior color Zinc chromate, DIY
- Exterior Olive drab based camoflauge, DIY
- 4 Driving lights across roof roll bar, Olive Drab
- 4 Fog lights across top of front bumper, Olive Drab
- Full front to rear skid plates
- Possible Roo Bar style front bumper
  I think this should be a great on-off road driver, I'll be able to do a little Pro Rally stuff. Not lowering it too much and skid plating the bottom front to rear should mean there ain't many obstacles that will be a problem for decent 4x4 work, within limits.
  I'll be able to go to the Drag strip to get accurate 1/4 mile times for testing and results. I might even be able to do a little Solo 1/ Solo 2 slalom stuff.
  Thanks to Prd2BCdn I've got a base chassis, I've got most of the parts and I should be able to really cheap skate this one together over a few months using maximum used and fabricated from stuff in the shop parts.
  I think I can do this one over the fall for very/very little money if I'm lucky. It won't be a show car but it will be presentable and fun.
  The goal is to match the weight of a stock base model Track/Kick and use as a test bed for engine perf stuff. As well as enter events that are being run around here.
  But if my business every gets good I'll be able to come down and do some 4x4 trails with the gang down South, with something different.
What do you guys think? Any suggestions.....
Should we do this as another "Build up" thread?
