build it!

I'd love to. Maybe some day, after I strike it rich :hick:

Would surely save on room expenses, maybe you could park it on Eric's front lawn...
Yeah, right... Eric would probably see that monstrosity heading for his lawn and instantly renounce his views on gun control :2gunsfiri

I'd love to get in on that project.
I even have a dish for the roof. :D
Cool! And I've got an FTA receiver to make it complete!

Jesse James ended the show to soon he was looking for more ideas to bad you didn’t think of it then.
Jesse James can come up with his own ideas. If this were ever to see the light of day I'd wanna be the one to build it.

I used to be a scrub dog at an auto/motorhome shop. Those little Toyotas were able. I had a hard time believing it could even move, but when you got in it it drove perfectly fine. I drove a Nissan conversion as well, but the Toyota was definitely the better rig. It was a manual too. The thing is the cab rode as low as a car, and every time you got out you cracked your head on the sleeper.
I'm not surprised they're able. Really, it'd be no different than towing a small camper trailer, something a 22r-powered 'Yota should be more than capable of doing. It's not going to win any drag races, but it would cope easily enough...

One thing to remember is if you want a turbo-home, you're going to want to make that a turbo-302. That Toyota was using the R22, arguably the toughest passenger car engine ever made. I wouldn't trust a 2.3T to make it to New Brunswick hauling a camper.:slap:
If this was a turbo anything, it'd be a turbo diesel. Preferably a CRD...

Quote
Oh, one last thing, you're crazy. :screwy: I think I'd rather see a FWD Fox-bird than see yours cut up to make a motorhome.
No fear. If I were to build it I'd start with a basket case, since really the only T-Bird or Cougar parts on it would be the body shell from the B-pillars forward.

As for FWD... that's actually crossed my mind for the Bird motor home. Drop an Olds Toronado drivetrain (455 V8, FWD) in there and it'd make sorting out the rear suspension a LOT easier...

...And now, to prove I've gone completely over the deep end, I present concept #2, this time based on a Cat (can't leave the Mercury guys out of the insanity). Although more radical, this one would be much, much easier to build, and would be easier to drve and get better mileage to boot. If I ever do this motorhome thing I'll likely follow this route:

That's all well and good but everybody's gonna know you're one of them Snowbirds, blue hair or not.

If you want to really blend in it needs to look more like this....

The only problem with a Tiffany Cougar version would be that it'd be so long it'd have to bend in the middle :hick:

lol, yeah you'd probably need a CDL to drive something like that too
