And I found this Baja Bug in a hotel carpark at the end of Summernats (08 Jan), nice car, anyone here own it? My daughter was very taken with it.

sweet. dual shocks:thumb

Yes, this is my baja..

cool is ther any more pics ????

Yeah for sure... Just have to work out how to post pics.
Good to see ther was a few vw heads at the Summernats.

Got some specs for us?

Awesome ride ROTORBUG. You must show us more.

Ok..
My baja is a 69 model with a series 5 13b turbo rotary conversion. The motor is a rebuilt import engine with standard turbo running an EMS computer and 12psi of boost.
Intercooler is mounted on top of the engine with an air scoop to pull in cold air.

I am running a standard 1800 kombi box with a mini spool through a kennedy 2100lb pressure plate and standard german clutch plate.

I've made custom longer & wider rear trailing arms so I could run standard Kombi CVs and drive shafts. Also fabricated rollcage that takes twin longer travel heavy duty offroad shocks. (extending through wheel arches mounts inside on cage) and I've installed a hydraulic type handbrake setup.

Had dyno'd at 200rwhp but have made a few mods since. Should now have around 230 at the wheels.

More mods in the works. Will get some photos up soon..

Rotorbug, we had a brief look in the hotel carpark, very nice! Although I don't have a clue about most of the spec stuff you just stated, congratulations for a great set of wheels, you restored my daughters faith in the fact that there is no end to what you can do with a bug....!

Thanks for the kind words Phantom. Glad you like it.

Yes that is a nice bit of gear! Did anyone see the GEN III-powered monster off-raod racer in the Show and Shine and on the cruise on Sat night? OMIGAWD!!!
