i am going to look at this bug sometime next week and at that price will most likely pick it up
http://southjersey.craigslist.org/cto/1446596447.html

not sure what it needs but i would think the baja kit alone is worth that.

if the floors/chassis are rusted to bad i think i might buy this setup

my question is if i buy the convertible chassis will the standard body fit on it.

i am trying to put together a fairly cheap dd that i can mess around with and still wheel while my jeep is down.

I paid $800 for a car like the $250 one. Got another ~$5000 into it.

The engine alone on that convertible pan is worth rather more than $800, if it has any life left in it.

If you are a big guy, you may want to look into a 3" lift before you move the body over. all the prep work is already done.

250 is a deal... as long as you promise to bury the visor at the bottom of a landfil...
