Nothing wrong with doing something different
I seen an old merc on a 4x4 chassis
A mk1 fiesta in a cut down 4x4
I was thinking about a mk1 escort on a cut down chassis also thought about fitting 4x4 running gear to a mk1 mr2
Everybody has there own idea of what looks good or what is a good idea
I say good luck to you
Might be better off on a different forum as they are all a little landy purist in here lol
But if you do stick around pics are best
Good luck
