    My Madmax Protege

    So far I haven't really done much. I decided to finally have some fun with my protégé. I'm the only one that drives it and I hardly ever give anyone rides so it's becoming my project car!! :D

    I want to keep it street legal. I want to keep a budget of about $2,000. I also want it to be an offroading creature lol.

    So far I've ripped out the
    - Headliner
    - Carpet
    - Rear Seat and Seatbelts
    - Stereo and Speakers
    - Most of the plastic paneling
    - Half the dash

    My Goals: while staying near the $2,000 mark
    - Take out the AC unit as it doesn't work anymore and I never use it anyway
    - Remove all the climate controls
    - Remove the stock air box and resonator and replace it with a cone filter
    - Replace my SOHC with the DOHC from the LX version
    - Relocate the battery to the back to give myself a little room under the hood
    - Find a way to give myself a total of about 4" or so ground clearance
    - Replace wheels and tires with something more aggressive and worthy of offroading.
    - Install a roll cage. A buddy of mine here at work knows welding so I figure he could help me weld up a roll cage if buying one is too expensive.
    - Install some more lights on the front. (Can never have too many)

    Any thoughts, comments, or suggestions are always welcome. Thanks guys and gals!!
