Offroad VW based vehicles have problems/insights all their own. Not to mention the knowledge gained in VW durability.

So let me get this right; In less time than it has taken me to get a roller, you have built a car, run it for a few seasons, and are on to a second project? Man I feel lame.
Looking forward to the build though!

Don't feel lame, this one will take awhile. I got the spindles and some misc. parts to get me started. Here is a sneak peak.

Me dangerous? Look at the shiz you are building!
Oh you stinker. That's just enough to see what a radical design it is (and make me salivate), but not enough to get the whole picture.
Looks like an engineered spine to me.... like that aluminum bodied Dunebuggy.com car...
With your skills, it's sure to be a beauty.

What a hack... you don't actually think something like that could possibly work... do you?
Very Nice design

My opinion is worth slightly less than what you paid for it.

OH YEAH! Back in business thanks to the JIMCO swap meet. The heims are good enough for a play car and will likely last a few seasons. The rack is no Howe, but it is tight and will do for this version. I am actually suprised by it, no real obvious flaws. Hardly used. Its a BRP or RBP or sumthing another.

Awesome work there getrdone. Looks more like metal art, than off-road pieces. Nice welds also.
