Michigan is also the home of coat hanger and JB weld muffler vehicle repair.
I used to drive a 71 International Scout that the previous owner cut the back off, moved the rear glass up to the cab to create a pickup truck, and it had a wooden bed on it. It was fun to drive though. Short wheel base too. (I used to live up near Traverse)
I am fairly sure I have seen entire cars (barely) held together by coat hangers and JB weld on Michigan highways.
I've seen 'em so bad that the rear fenders flap like wings at highway speeds on I-75 to Gaylord

Those aren't wings...around here those are known as friendly cars, because they wave at you.

So I swapped out the K24 for a K03, and it's SO much more responsive. With the K24, boost was zip until 3000rpm, and full boost at 3500rpm, but with the K03, the boost starts to rise at 1400rpm, and full boost at about 2000rpm. For anyone with a 1.6td, I highly reccomend a smaller turbo.
videos coming soon.

Run it off a starter motor, plenty for getting unstuck.

I see a need for seat belts or
a Monty Python skit where men wearing fur, horns and much warrior garb try stealing this rig and get cut off by a rove band of sheep and they have to hit the brakes hard. Wheee off they go flying.
Yea, think forklift and counterweight here for your own safety. Never mind the sheep.
I also wondered about the total weight that spoke tire would support. It isn't rated for much i am sure so pulling a loaded trailer might just pop them like pretzels.
chink.

Now were talking turning radius eh? And individual brakes like a tractor. You could learn to make it shimmy down the road and put it to music, shoot a UTube video and be famous.
Or Scorned by those of us that drive 4 wheelers of this vintage.
