You would need bespoke bodywork too
Im all for pushing the boundries if thats your thing and it would be nice to see it done
I would watch your build with great interest but you will end up with an inferior car that will cost more to build (in my opinion!)

Hi kida, firstly, have you driven a 4x4 roadster to confirm this, its what i am after realy for folk to tell me if it is worth it, what would make a RWD better than a 4x4? , in my begginers opinion i cant see it being thousands more to build a 4x4 roadster than a RWD, upto know its the set up thats the pain, the steering and the loss of footwell space on the sierra running gear, the T box in the way. And as said its only 50kgish heavier than the norm, thats a big bloke driving compared to me who`s had a full breakfast with extra black pudding LOL.
Why not go out in one of these cars if you have a rag top or Re/hard top
Also for the last 16 years of having the Locost build book i hav ewanted to build a 4x4 version
All best
wolly
