Hey Fella's,
So I am looking to get a beetle as a new daily. I have been talking to a guy about his bug. It is Baja-fied already and was wondering what this will mean for Rego on victoria's streets.

It is a 66ish with a type 3 motor in the back.

Here is a pic or three

Well for a start I'd change the exhaust and get a guard on the fan and generator belt (stock type 3 cover would be a good start). Not sure about the horizontal light mounting. Perhaps front and rear barwork, but I'm used to QLD regs so Vic is probably different.

This Front bar is very common, if the pic works... I'll post a pic of the rear barwork too but mine is overkill! Weighs a ton.

I had alot of trouble getting mine registered in qld. Not because of a roadworthy though. The transport dept down there will probably ask for a million numbers and certificates that just dont exist. I ended up just registering mine as a beetle, they didn't even look twice. Just checked the chassis and engine number and off i went. The rear cage on my manx is probably more like what you would want, i'll post a pic of that too.

It's very similar but it doesn't have all the extra crap on the top.
