It's a Filipino thing guys. Jeepneys originated from the Philippines. I'm Filipino and I think that Jeepney looks good actually. Woulda preferred a v8 Jeepney, but that'll do. I'll drive it around too!

The design is an adaptation from ****** Jeeps left in WWII. They are very durable and low maintenance, the bodies constructed mostly of stainless steel and will go on just about any terrain in any weather.
When I was in the Philippines, almost every Honda Civic I saw either had no bumpers or new bumpers.... that'll tell you see why

Probably a good thing though as one of my firends rolled one of those and ended got tore up something fierce.

That thing must fly! Those bodies are so light. I have seen these things fitted Toyota engines, 18rg and 22re's. Just to clear things up thats not a jeepney. Jeepney's are passenger vehicles that run up and down certain routes. That thing is called an owner back home(personal vehicle)!

Thanks, Ed

While growing up in the old country, we used to install diesel engines with shortened rear end and driveshafts. Personally, I wont use a rotary engine as its not gas efficient.

So when it comes to changing parts, you have to tell the partsguy what exactly you have. There is no such thing as I would like a replacement part for a 85 mazda RX-7 as an example.

Ok, I have a crazy thought. A neighbor of mine has a late '80,s or early '90,s Mazda B2200 Pickup with a blown engine. I wonder how a Rotary would fit in that? Has anyone ever seen one?

Easy....divorced transfer case,been making them for years.....Samurai,Ford,Jeep.

Uses a standard 2WD tranny with a short driveline going from the trans to the input of the T-case.Then you just run drivelines to the front and rear.Only down side is that the T-case needs its own crossmember.
