Motorbreath53's Baja... is still ALIVE

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

Car's looking great. I give my full DustyMojave approval on those motor mounts.

My buddy has a 4 seater with an Acura NSX V6 in it. It's eaten a great many Bus boxes over the past 9 years. The Mendie is an important part of the package.

Tiko, my wife used to love to go offroading with me. But she's turning the big 6-oh this year and she says it hurts when we do even mild offroad trails now. So my situation is somewhere between yours and Joe's. Just gotta watch out for the little lady jacking the Baja, Joe.
