Could you please describe the gauge layout. How does your speedo operate? With a cable? What kind of shocks are you running?
I’m using a GPS speedometer.
Here's my set up, just for bang'n around desert roads and trails.

How do you seal the body to the cage? Example, where the cage penetrates the front firewall. Do you weld the fire wall to the cage? Is there a rubber grommet used to seal it off to disallow dust and other debris from entering the cockpit
The cage tubes run through 1.5” holes that are bored through the body lift then welded to it. After that it’s seam sealed using brush able body seam sealer.

| That Burro is badass!! Awesome build that is seriously impressive. I've been wanting to get another bug and build something just like that, but I don't quite have that ability I think. Obviously a lot of hard work, great job! |

I used aluminum rivets seam sealed on the back side. Thanks for the compliments. |

Awesome Build!!
This is what I have been planing to do with a Ghia, the one I had needed to leave me 'sad' but I'm searching for another one that is not worthy of restoration... because it will look much like your bug... Love It!! |
DO IT!!! Here’s mine.

Love everything youve done with it. That bad boy will go just about any where you need to go. The bug on my avatar was my pride and joy some 40 years ago! Still have great memories of that ride! Enjoy and thanks for the smile you put on my face!

Nice, very nice buggy indeed. ...why not just go with a TDI diesel engine? ...would've been twice the torque and twice the milage. ..I can't remember where I saw it but I did a Google search and the TDI fit in the same space with a slight deck lid mod...not to mention the 500,000+ miles you can get from a diesel engine. ..just saying. ...I'm jealous cuz your car is finished and mine is still under construction  |
I thought about putting a Subaru engine in it, but it just wasn’t right. I want to keep it an air cooled bug. I love the simplicity of them. It still has tons of power, I know I’ll lose some a higher elevation, even after I rejet the carburetor while I’m there. But that’s the fun of it!  |
