New Beetle Baja Build

[Duder]

I wish they would make a 4x4 VW Bug.

My last bug was air cooled

VW made one...aircooled, 4x4, portal axles! The Kommandeurwagen.

I know this thread hasn't seen action in over a year, but is this project still going? Any new pics? Have you given any thought to trimming the fenders?

 

[J.McGowan]

sorry, close to a year old, not over.

Wow! I'm liking this!

I never knew that Bug's came fitted with portal's till I read the restoration thread of a member here on EXPO and saw his!

These certainly are interesting!

Totally resurrecting and hijacking...
I'm wrapping up a similar build, mine was/is for the Gambler 500 in Utah.

The older bugs had the easily removable passenger seat. Put some plywood down and a mat and you had a nice bed.
