Offroad VW based vehicles have problems/insights all their own. Not to mention the knowledge gained in VW durability.

yea, its been staring me down every time i got to school in the morining.
About the cage and stuff, yea that will come as soon as we get the important stuff out of the way. This bug will not be street legal. registered as an ORV, not on the road, just up at camp and at the plains and stuff.

That is looking good jox, good picture angle. As far as a paint job from the 70's do ya really want to do that, Airhead will be showing off his old baha.

Flyin' Hawaiian had the most 80s baja paint job :D

As far as 70s bajas go, it would be pretty tame really. Probably grabber orange or a pea green with some black accents on the hood.

Think Mopar colors.
I don't always show my signature. But when I do, it's in this area.

Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt.
