Check out the Renault Alpine - 70’s super car.
Buggy conversions are AWESOME!!! Those 1.3L engines, with a fiberglass body weighing nothing were fast!
That would be a great project to undertake.
I remember the Alpines... awesome race car...

Yup, the ol’ Race Bugs were neat. Dune Buggy conversions were neat too, but impractical unless you had a garage to keep them in (in the Northeast) and they were warm weather driving only.
