The idea is similar... scrap most of the body and pare the vehicle down to the bare minimum. And a Sammie is about as minimal as you can get. Keep the stock height, pull the body off and make your own. Unfortunately, most aftermarket bodies I've seen for the Sammie/Jimny chassis are completely non-aerodynamic tube-frames like that one. You'd have to find a way to make it more aerodynamic.

You could always just slap a CR-X or VX shell over a Sammie. Since those things are ladder-frames, the body itself doesn't serve much purpose (which is why so many people convert them into buggies).
