    Mudbash Car replacement

    What does everyone think. My ex Rover Crew are looking to replace there ageing mudbash car. It was a real bitsa. Bongo Van chassis, Jag front end, dato rear end, 318 Chrysler Fireball, 727Torqueflyte, all covered up by a Mini Shell . It was an awesome car. Anyway its time to say goodbye.

    What should they replace it with?
    -Must be cheap
    -Two-Wheel Drive
    -Easy to Drive
    -Roll Cage (CAMS)
    -Parts availability
    -Accessories Available

    My recommendation is for a commodore or falcon.

    What are your thoughts?

    My last one was a S1 landy body on laminated chassis with 318 Val 200 Bell housing with a Inter c series gear box and a dana 60 rear. Very very strong. Had Inverted truck beam axle in front. May not handle well enough as you guys get some speed up these days would a ford or commy be to heavy? Can you up post up Scrutineering Specs? Mine are out uf date.Tony That Mini would have went hard

    We've been thinking about a rangie or lr. Probably a bit slow. They're currently been offered a sigma, but I'm a bit unsure about the parts availability. You can buy a cage for a commo/falcon off the shelf. And they're are heaps of mods available, and parts are everywhere.
