Three Words:

Winter Beater Seven.

God... If I had a few extra 7s, I'd do that just so that I could have a 7 to drive in the winter.... get something with lots of torque in it too, like a supercharged 20b...

Jon

Edit: but if I did it, I'd shorten the distance between the front and rear wheels on the frame underneath.. so that the tires would be positioned properly under the wheel wells. It reminds me of that movie "Beverly Hillbillies"

And of course.. if you're going to create an abomination like that, you've GOTTA get every ricer accessory you can think of... Fart Pipe, Ground Effects *in a big way!, like Disco-ball style*, windshield washer lights, two-tone tinted windows, big booming stereo

Seams like it would be fairly simple to do.

drop a Rx7 shell on a common 4x4 chassis and weld together. Connect steering linkage, Brakes and Shifter. Minor suspension lift and big tires

some other ****, but not all that much work.

and it would be a great winter couterpart to my Turbo 1st gen.

After a friend saw my rx7, he thought it would be cool to mount the body on a 70's bronco. This weekend we're going to pickup a roller from a local yard....There's an old school monte carlo in Corpus Christi sitting on 35" MT's....

Until this the most hideous thing I saw was a Chevy Vega wagon outfitted in gray primer mounted on a monster truck chassis cruising down Ocean Blvd in Myrtle Beach. The captain of said vessel appeared to be Mexican, and was posed in a Titanic 'King of the World' behind the wheel.

But, now, this 7 takes the cake.
