Here's one from a thread in Oz, scroll about half way down the page. The pics are of a European rally bug, I think in the 90's. There was a web site with the build.
Ya, thats the car back in the day. The blue davesport rally bug. I bought it from dave and put it all back together. Wish it would have had the type IV turbo motor with it. Fun to drive and difinitely one of a kind.

so that's all VW?How in the heck did you get four wheel drive off of a bus tranny?I saw in the other pics that there was a different noscone, but I thought it was all Subaru.
091 bus trany, custom nose cone and modified pinion shaft. (longer and has a cv flange at the end) runs a shaft in the tunnel to a box by the seat where you can manually choose four wheel drive or two. Then another shaft to a datsun r180 diff up front. Front a arms and spindles are early saab components. You really just run the four wheel drive in the snow or dirt being that the front to rear gearing is off just a tinny bit. Pavement will put extra non needed stress on the drivetrain.
The car is way fun in about a foot of snow up in the mountains on a one lane logging road!
Not listed on special stage. I feel that the average person that can afford to actually rally the car would just get a subaru anyway.
You dont even want to hear my personal opinions of rally, special stage, and rally america! I can say that I did have a lot of fun rallying the bug and later the 510!
I also can say that I picked up the shell, no interior, motor, fuel cell, ect in parts for less than I am asking. Great price for what I have into it!
Will trade also for a fj40 cj5 samurai or shifter cart!
