In the words of that immortal comic Jack Benny...."WELL!!".. I mean, what can ya say? That poor Justy reminds me of the 1/25th scale car models I built when I was 7 and then blew up with M-80s and blockbusters when I was 13! Question..How many sticks of dynamite do you think it would take to put that poor car out on its misery?? I've seen stuff like this a zillion times and the question I always ask myself is: Why would anyone spend/use their time, money, and equipment to build such a "PILE"!!! Possible answers:1) The A-Team was my favorite TV show and B.A. Barracus is my hero! 2) I feel a great sense of pride from hearing 9 out of 10 people say "Hey, That things a Pile of SH#T!!! 3) This is the perfect way to showcase my "MAD" engineering and fabrication skills so that folks will finally give me the credit I deserve! (OK Napoleon Dynamite!!) And My Personal Favorite... 4) Hey Bubba, This is Burl. My old Yamaha 4 wheeler busted the frame up here in the woods near where ya dumped that Ol' Justy. Hey man, Bring them torches and ya tools up here!! Seriously...I guess I'm just OLD SCHOOL...If I'm gonna bust my butt to do a project, I'm gonna make damn sure that the EXECUTION aspect of the project is the best it can be! Any thoughts about this?? I mean, I'm totally cool with Rat-Rods (I've got one) but, I don't dig cars that have half their parts held on with zip ties and duct tape! Love you guys Jim

I don't care what you guys say. We're getting that thing as the Forum Demo Car! What's the exchange rate right now from USD's to Euros? Darn, the US Dollar is weak again! Tried to translate some of that auction description... came out almost as nutty as the pictures... "...On wet road control of the Subaru is nearly not possible `for s!. On the road it is not to be driven also!. The Subaru is not anything for Sundays nut runners! Who believes, ever a kind Tüv to gotten, should not any more Alice in miracle land radio play cartridges hear!..." ;D "...Sundays nut runners..." ;D That thing is so hoss... Dude says there's sequential 30 gear upshifting!?! ;D ROTFLMAO ;D This is the best... you guys rock. Good Night/ Morning, #891989 Subaru JUSTY RS 4WD 127, 488 milesIn 'progress' pics: tinyurl.com/3y9h42

UPDATE: I went to My ebay to show my wife the auction on this "THING" and it has been pulled! ;D Lucky for me I saved the picks in my Justy jpeg files! When my wife saw the pics she laughed so hard she almost had an accident My wife said the reason the guy canceled the auction is because the local townsfolk probably chased the poor Justy with lit torches and set it on fire at the steps of Frankenstein's castle!! 89--- Dude!! I read your translation and I was ROLLING!! The guy says.."You can't control it in the wet. You can't drive it on the street." What the heck is it good for?? A manure hauler?? A planter?? A piece of yard art?? There is NO way I would take it off road...The zip ties would pop, The Chicken Poop welds would break and the engine would fall out the bottom of the car! The only thing that might hold it in the engine bay are the 75' of various water hoses snaked around in there! I don't even want to get started on the suspension and drive line angles. Hail to "The Sunday Nut Runners Club"!!! Long may they roll! ;D Jim

he wrote the justy is so fast, it pushes the dirt up in the sky and is driven away before it comes back to the ground.

well, powertrain work aside, the idea of the justy pickup is quite intriguing............ hmmm, where's my angle grinder and my mig....... Yes, it is an interesting concept. I do like the idea and the way it looks. I didn't look real close at the execution...didn't save the pics either.
