well it's been just over a week and i have work under way
now i know it's no where nere as good as wes's or other baja but i like it
i wanted a buggy for offroading and that i could use in the cold and rain and did not want to spend to much so this is what i got
first job was to remove all the crap from the inside dirt ,paint,bolt's etc
then the baja kit was only just hanging on and needs a little work so it came off
next job was so rust repair so off with the pan and a clean and paint as well
it had a kombi motor in it before i got it and was efi
as it will be only used for a buggy i have taken the wiring out and going to do basic for the buggy
last job to day was get the breaks going
after 500ml of new break fluid and a lot of brown crap out the other end seams to be ok
and thats what i have been up 2 🙂
and loving it
i wanted to but a 2" lift kit on but $$$ are low
have got a few pic's and will be adding more as i go to keep track of what i have done

cheers
could you give an approximate on cost or u2u it to me as i'm looking at getting one in the near future
YOU HAVE JUST BEEN DAKED
don't worry it's a VW thing
Good score....Might have been easier to remove the seats first.....I took everything out the the car first , like seats gearshifter etc before we removed the body, then the two of us just lifted the body off.
