G'day guys,

i'm down in australia and have played around with 4x4's for the last 10 years, (last build was a 7" lifted 4runner, 351cleveland 4v, detroit lockers and some baja claw 33's)
but i want to step it up a notch and go a full tube buggy.

i'm no expert but all i know is i want at least 300+ci and 4ws, preferably a 2 seater

i have only found one here in AUS, 2WS with a 2L turbo intercooled GM engine & Hydro3 speed with O/D Trans, billet trans main shaft, custom valve bodylooks ok but i prefer v8

(opinions on this one?)

hit me up with your thoughts overall on getting a good one here, buggies to look at, things to look out for, why my accent is stupid haha,

especially if you know of any buggies in aus, but i bought my 67 shelby from the states and shipping was only around 5k from memory, so its not out of the question to ship if i find something good under 20k

I would base your purchase on what is available for support. You dont want to buy something that you can only get replacement parts by ordering them online from a vendor on the otherside of the world if you can help it. That being said I would try to by a rolling chassis if you can. Then put a powertrain that is readily available in Australia in it when it gets shipped over.
