Gonzo Buggy

What is it?
FordChevyJeepPontiacToyota?

This is me and my step-brother Mike on my homemade buggy.  We don't know exactly what to call it so if you have any ideas send them to me.
My cousin Danny and I started this project in April 1998.  I had just finished building the engine in my '79 F-250 and needed something else to work on so we opted for the ultimite chalange; build a vehicle from scratch.  I just happened to have a Toyota T2 hemi 4 cylender lying around and decided to use that as the powerplant.  The engine was all that we had and the rest revolved around that.  We found a Jeep frame at a local junk yard.  We don't know much about the frame (no ID tag) but we think that it was converted to a 2WD setup, because the front axle is from a fork lift.  We started by mounting the engine on the frame.  Slowly we took parts off of my uncles junked Pontiac Bonnaville and junked Chevy Capre Classic.  Many of my friends had parts lying around that they donated to my project.  The whole thing cost me about $140.
