JBugs - Father & Son - 1972 VW Baja Bug - First Drive & Finishing Touches
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- OK, so the touches are minor and the Baja Bug isn't "done" but it's ready enough to take for it's first drive, which was short lived. The clogged chassis fuel line that Sam & Nate thought they had cleaned out well enough, wasn't. So after barely driving and eventually pushing the VW back to the garage, they cleaned out the dirty fuel line some more, and took the Baja for a longer drive through all 4 gears! With it's road worthiness confirmed, the father and son team put a few more pieces of the puzzle in place. The front of the one piece front end is mounted to the front bumper along with some headlight buckets. Then to wrap up all the work that happened way back in April the EMPI rear Baja Bumper was mounted in place. As the car sits, it's taken a major step back from being road worthy and Sam and Nathan explain what the plans are and what they'll be working on going forward.

Congratulations Nate! you've got an awesome father and you guys are building memories you'll cherish for a lifetime. I remember my first vanity plate ABAD66 (for a 1966 Chevelle I built with my father) I wanted 1BAD66 but it was already taken. The wheels/tires overall stance of your bug looks awesome! Can't wait to get my buggy together for its first test drive , thanks for continuing to inspire me guys!
Thanks you sir, keep up the good work on your projects!
I really enjoy these videos. Great job guys
Thank you, we enjoy making them!
Very nice work Sam and Nate... Going to be a very nice Baja when completed.. Thx for bringing us along.. Take care and God Bless...
Thank you sir, likewise - Numbers 6:24-26
Solid tranny mount will humm. Nothing you can do about it. Project is looking super-sano, good job guys.
What happened at the end of this episode? It seemed like you were close to putting some street miles on the car and presto- a whole bag more of modifications are to begin!?
We got some street miles in, sure, but there is a bunch more work to do! First and foremost, driving without rear shocks isn't a good idea. So we've got that to deal with, along with some rusted out pans, etc.
