if it's not going on road then cut up the back and cut the front guards so you can put big rims on
anyone know of a way to make the front end stronger on a sbug??...with out going to a beam!!

Cut the bulk head off and weld a ball joint or link pin bulk head on.

Not many Super-based Bajas around, but using a non-strut chassis under a Super body blends the 'best' bits from factory VW components for off-road use

HOWEVER with a nice, soft, long-travel spring (a la Nissan Pathfinder) I reckon a coil-springer would be pretty good too!

that bugs LHD so yeah its probably a yank car

theres a super baja bug in volkswagen australia #1 that appears to cop a severe thrashing off road

but easiest way around it like jace said just convert to beam front end

enough ppl around are doing now

what mods do you have to make to mount the beam or does it just bolt straight on

that ones actually a super body on a standard floorpan but the end result is the same as fitting a beam bulk head and bolting up a BJ beam

theres a bit of work in the change over
gotta take the body off remove the strut bulkhead and weld in a beam one

it would need to be done with a jig i imagine cos u wouldnt wanna be out at all otherwise u would end up with a bug that crabs down the road

ill have a dig around over the weekend see if i can find volkswagen australia #1 and ill scan the artical cos i havent seen it for probably 10 years so cant remember how he built it

Yeah the yellow one above is a yank car.
Just pointing out how you could do it if you really wanted to.
Would be far easier doing it with a regular beam beetle then a super bug.
