Some think that if your beetle has a padded dash, it's an engine donor. Some think that if it has push button door handles, it's a boat anchor.
Do what you want. Ignore the elitists. Drive your VW. Enjoy life. |

I'd like to see more of the bottom one and less of the top one.

A set of rubber tracks would fit nice on that.

That may be what they had planned! I would love to get my hands on one of these VW air-cooled beauties! |

My pal Tee Pee Fred's Mercedes 4 cylinder diesel powered bush bug.
It has a sheet of 1/4" steel underneath from bumper to bumper for a skid plate, for mowing down the jack pine.
He would bash cross country up in the Chilcotin in the wilds of British Columbia.
Steering brakes- Dodge 16" wheels on front- bus transaxle and an extra fuel tank in back seat area.
Engine cover made from '40s Ford hood- homemade heavy duty steel fenders
and mud flaps
It sounded pretty wild when it had the diesel
The last incarnation it got a V6 gas engine for a little more speed
cheers
Hank

Yes but it is left abandoned up in the Chilcotin plateau
Tee Pee Fred was pushing 80 when he moved to central America about 5 years ago, and is probably living in a tee pee there- his eye sight was failing and it was too cold living in the Chilcotin.
It has been 2 years since he called me.
He is a real champion in my book.
