I agree. baja ghia all the way. Another bloke, (hmm, where did I read it), mention that out of all the baja vee dubs he has ever drove, the baja ghia was the best.

Here it is:

"I've been involved with VW's for over 30 years and always liked their rugged simplicity. I've had several different Dune Buggies, Sandrails, Baja Bugs, and even an off-road Baja Karmann-Ghia, which was actually the best of the bunch! I've owned Jeeps, 4-Wheel Drive trucks, and a VW Type 181 "Thing". Still, the VW (particularly, that Baja'd Ghia) was the most functional of any of them! The Ghia could go anywhere the 4WD's could, didn't get stuck as often, used lots less fuel, and had plenty of room (well everyone has their own idea of what "plenty" is) for a weekend's camping gear, a wife, and two daughters. The "Thing" was a disappointment for us. It seemed under-powered, got stuck, and compared to the Baja'd Ghia, didn't get very good fuel rnileage. Also, it was nowhere as stiff as the Ghia, which did have a roll bar I added to make it stiffer and torsionally rigid."
