It's all cleared with the board of control at home.
I supose I have to have a Kombi at least once in my life (time is running out!!):bounce

Its a 1979 2 ltr in not bad nick and I would like to make it into a baja kombi.

So what do I need to do?

Depends on how serious you are.
I just stuck 215/75R15's under my stock '77. Takes me anywhere I want to go, and I guess it'll go further than most cheapo korean/tiwanese 4x4's.
If you want to keep up with landcruisers etc your looking at some serious mods, raising the front, clearance the rear for 31" tyres and probably a better motor.

Well done. Kombi's are cool. Looking forward to seeing some picts.

Yeah komib's are nuts. You'll love it, can take it just about anyway, and if you forget something e.g tent!

Ya just sleep in it.

Unless you're with the missus then ya ....................

Thanks Andy.

I dont have an unlimited piggy bank but I was interested in getting ground clearance and fitting some big tyres.

I will be o/hauling the gear box and engine and was after some pointers on any mods I should do while these are apart. Also if I increase engine power and run big tyres is there a heavier clutch I should consider.

YUP... a bigger torquier engine and large wheels = heavy duty clutch please.
