WTF?? A Turbo SR20 Swapped & Dropped 1946 Jeep Willy's!!

[@single_goth_dad4203]

Highly recommend looking into Joel's other builds. If you're into vintage JDM. He's a really nice guy and literally builds all of his vehicles in his backyard. He is a true gearhead. Keep up the good work, Joel. Thanks AutotopiaLA for giving Joel some love.

Hope you guys can build many to compete with the popular golf carts or club cars. More power. Hope you guys build a full size Chariot Jeepney popularized in Cebu.

The loophole is you need a original willy's frame with serial number to get it registered in United States. Then the owner build it similar to Filipino OTJ style.

It's commonly know in the Philippines as the "Owner Type Jeep", "Owner", and in my province, "Jiffy". I remember the day when you'd see 5 of those lined up in a traffic light any day. With varying heights and style. Some with the original body and other custom copy builds of the same fashion. Twas also the entry level car for a lot of teenage drivers. Usually donning a Toyota 4k engine. This one though is a pretty refined version, and very well suited up.
