Cool SVX off road concept ideas?

hey just for the hell of it, wat does anyone think of taking this luxury sport coupe and turning it into a suv type thingy? maybe jack up the suspension, throw some meaty tires and a bull bar? maybe a tow hitch on it just for kicks and giggles? anyone wanna "photoshop" an idea for a mean "SUX" lol (Sport-Utility-Xtreme!) lol

close! but i was thinkin of using a svx as a base for the concept... any ideas? would the stock suspension be able to have a lift kit on it? and would having a bull bar on the front make the front end too heavy on the svx?

That is on the brink of red neck. A rally car would be cool though.

That legacy is SVX powered man... EG33 tears it up!!!!

I had the idea of lifting my old teally when I was still trying to kill it. You would need blocks for the subframes and struts tops too. I wanted to build my own but decided it was not worth the effort. There is nothing available to do this kind of thing though

I've seen those photos before, and every time I see them I still like the way it looks parked all the way up on that dune.

I've thought of something similar to this before, just for the novelty of it. I've also seen similar done to a Delorean many years ago - that one looked like it never saw off road duty and was more of a show car.
