2000 OBO! suzuki samurai KA24 engine swap RWD converted.
For sale is my 1988 suzuki samurai.. bought it recently but have no room for it now...
1500 OBO LOWER PRICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When i got the car it was somewhat of a mess.. the body is VERY clean and has barely any rust.. but other than that. the swap was done poorly. and the interior was in shambles.
i fixed the main issues with it and the car runs good now and i also did a cheap paint job on it and it looks pretty good as well.
The engine is a Ka24E sohc out of a 240sx with 5 speed manual... the front diff was gutted. and the car is now rear wheel drive, stock drivers side engine mount, solid passenger side mount, and a viper transmission mount.
shifter is missing the surround but still works fine...
engine got a full tune up, cap, rotor, wires and plugs.. a new 02 sensor. new valvecover gaskets and fluids were changed.
engine runs pretty good.. gauges are not hooked up.. i have a coolant temp gauge i will throw in for free.
like i said the body is pretty damn clean.. i have all the pieces including the flares/side sills lights etc.. all the lights work as well.. there was barely any surface rust on the thing but it was taken care of prior to paint.
if you guys were at the another level car show you saw this thing. its kind of cool for what it is..
its still somewhat of a project though there are some things it could use.. but thats why im pricing it basically as a clean samurai body will go for..
2,000 obo for this thing.. i stress obo because its really what someone will pay for the thing.. its not something i can 100% put a value on because it is soo odd and rare.
ask about anything you want to know.. come take it for a rip its pretty fast for what it is mainly because the sohc ka24s have like 140 hp and decent torque and this thing weighs next to nothing.
heres a Before shot to somewhat show how clean it was before the paint.

thanks guys. the truck is cool.. needs some work to be a good driver.. but i use it for quick rips around my shop and its been great.! a lot of fun.
took it for a few rides out to byron and drove it home from milwaukee when i bought it in shambles.. but its been good to me.

shifter hole new location.. yes there isnt much interior.. but the seats and the dash and the shifter is there.. that is basically all thats needed to tear it up.
oh the passenger side door card is also there. as welll as the top and the top extension bar or whatever they call it.. the top is missing some snaps but i have it still.
