    a-toy, you imagine, we create

    get a donor vehicle na lang, maybe a pajero or patrol,

    a-toy has converted cefiros into bmws etc so your project may be plausible

    expect to shell out a good amount of money

    I think you should be inspired of the Popular Western TV shows.

    Just to share... Locally building anything bigger than a FX is a waste of time!

    So based on my personal experience, build a jeep or wrangler!

    Local shops' bodies are just too heavy... Even if you get the suspension to carry the load, cornering and pot holes will be a nightmare!

    Then you need a really big engine!

    I agree better build a wrangler with its latest model. This is my plan too when I retire and go home to Phils. Please share if you knew a good car builder in the Phils that can imitate a wrangler's body.

    First, where do I find someone who can build the body? Can anyone recommend anyone to me?

    Next, what kind of engine would you recommend I use. I want to use an economical engine, not a gas or diesel guzzling engine. I want sana gasoline para it can be converted to LPG, and Ill have no problem with smoke belching apprehensions. But I can consider diesel as well. Does anyone have a recommended supplier for this?

    Third, What kind of suspension and chassis should I put and where can I get one of those?

    Finally, how about interiors and the dashboard?

    Thanks so much.

    I hope it wont cost as much s a brand new Mercedes G class when done, hehehe
    and body pwedeng sheet metal or fiberglass,
    engine siguro, yung mga lumang toyota, 4k , 13t, 21r, etc mura din ang pyesa. RWD halos, pwera nalang kung mag AWD ka.
    sa suspension, leaf spring lahat, matibay matatag pero matigas lang.
    ang dashboard fiberglass yan, pweding kahoy o lata.

    recommend ko nalang, bumili ka ng lumang owner type jeep, pickup or any Utility vehicles, yung medyo malaki.

    tapos change body nalang, para konti lang bayad sa rehistro, pero retain ang plate numer

    estimate ko lang 100k - donor car,
    150k - bodywork and labor

    Isama din sa budget yung testing kasi sa unang test pa lang malaking chance na sasablay yung sasakyan. Kaya kelangan malaking budget para mag improve during testing. Di lang isang test kundi marami test na pagdadaan bago gumanda yung performance ng sasakyan.
