G'day,
I'm new to the forum and VW's. I was into Minis for a long time and would like to ask about sunroofs, tyres etc.

What does adding a sunroof do to the structual integrity of a Baja Bug?

If using large tyres on the rear, what is the maximum size that would be recommended? This vehicle will be used for Road and off-road driving.

Are there any recomendation as far as ride height adjustments?

What are the benefits of Coil Over springs?

VWs have several beetle gear boxes, and several kombi gearboxes, each having different ratios.

Do you know which gearbox you have?
