Finally!

donaldcon · 06-30-2012, 12:23 AM

Finally after a long hunt, my pride and joy has come home.

some of you may remember from WAY back in 2003-2005. I sold my custom built chevette in 05 while in the middle of rebuilding it ( making it bigger)

I found it forsale a couple years ago, and found it again this week. So I I finally bought it back. It currently looks like this

The "first version

Entire build up

What do you call a 4dr Yugo?? A Wego...

Why did Yugo's have standard rear window defrosters? To keep your hands warm when pushing it in the winter....

Hey Donnie howsa 'bout a cliffnotes version of the specs on that?

nickhuts · 10-02-2012, 08:28 AM

this thing is sweet! how much did you have to buy it for?

itbrokeagain · 10-02-2012, 11:16 AM

What exactly do you do with that?

donaldcon · 05-27-2013, 09:25 AM

Had it in the garage changing out the front axle to a scout 44 and going 5.13 gears with dual lockers. Also trimmed the fenders while it was in there and install a fron valance panel ( it was missing when I got it back)

Took it out saturday and broke the front driveshaft. I built the driveshaft back in 05 so I'm not disapointed it broke.

Got a new one built and took it back our riding sunday

Flopped it over

After this video stopped I bounced my way up to the location of the photo above then broke the tie rod.

Those vids won't play on Facebook. I would like to know more about this place. Looks pretty sweet.

kyrel69 · 06-09-2013, 02:27 PM

Is this place a park or is it private land?

blazerbrad · 06-09-2013, 09:12 PM

It's private land that the Stillwell Stompers club has access to, outside Coshocton area so a good haul from Cincy. I was there a year or two ago and they had some really nice trails. You do need to be street legal as you need to travel down several paved roads between the different trails.

donaldcon · 06-10-2013, 11:15 PM

Info here https://sites.google.com/site/stillwellstompersaaa/

And search STILLWELL STOMPERS on facebook.

Hands down best trails in ohio if you like rock. Several pieces of property within a few mile sof each other, some highway driving but mostly back roads. 3000 acres total.
