|
|
I'm sure this has been asked before but I can't seem to find any answers. Is there any "how to Baja your bug" threads or sites out there? I'm pondering going in that direction with my bug. Nothing to serious. Looking to do a daily driver that'll take on some dirtroads and light off-roading. I'd do whatever i could with the stock suspension to begin with. Thanks. _________________ "Keep up the good work. You used the term craftsmanship. Don't you mean "craftsman$#&*?" "

baja bugs and buggies is a good start
depending on your finances/temperament/goals your conversion will differ from everyone elses
just read other peoples build threads and look at their pictures of their modifications. |

Thanks for the reply(s). I just put the book on a "christmas idea" list. _________________ "Keep up the good work. You used the term craftsmanship. Don't you mean "craftsman$#&*?" "
