Ev4x4

Basic Info

Diesel
Diesel vehicles tend to be long lasting. We also wanted a flexible fuel source; with minimal modifications we could drive off waste vegetable oil if needed.
4x4
Having 4x4 is great to get yourself out of trouble and add some safety when driving in the winter and/or back roads.
Manual Transmission
If you know how to drive a manual car you probably agree with us when we say they are simpler. They are also lighter vehicles, their parts are less expensive to repair and easier to rebuild. Plus you can push start them if starter motor or battery dies.
Small footprint and maximum indoor space
We wanted a car that was easy to maneuver off road and easy to part in the city.
Simple maintenance
Older vehicles tend to be simpler to maintain, fix and modify. Something to keep in mind when headed to remote locations.
It is old and used
Older vehicles are cheaper to insure and register. Parts are usually easy to find. Plus, if the vehicle is relatively efficient, the environmental impact is less than that of making and purchasing a new vehicle.
They are darn cute

This project is currently on hold. We need to find a space to work on it.
