Just kicking some ideas around was wandering is it possible to fit a curved windscreen beetle to a king link pan with an IRS back end? And turn it into a Baja? I’ve looked through Show off your BAJA! And found nothing. If anyone has any pictures particularly open top cars I would be interested see them
thanks |

You could with enough welding. Or better yet, just cut off the bulk head of the super and then tie the beam into the cage.

The regular 1-poece front clip will fit, but will need to be trimmed to fit to the cowl. It may not work out show car quality, but it will work out to offroad quality. I've seen quite a few cars built that way and none of them are noticeably wrong.

That's a switch, huh OC? Usually we're asking the posters for pics of what they have so we can help them.
I looked through my pictures and I don't have any shots of curved window Super Beetle Bajas with 1-piece front clips.
