Well I've been working on this for 28 years since I bought it new. In the beginning it was the family car until about 2000 when the engine through a rod at 130k miles. It sat till about 2010 when it got a rebuilt 1.3 petroworks engine. Did a 3" spring lift, rebuilt trans, 30" tires, winch and one of My's bumpers. Its done most of the extreme trails in So Cal with no problems.
