VW Baja Bug Overland Build, Feb Update

Our "overland build on a budget" project is gaining ground! The VW Baja Bug; WanderBug is completely road legal and drives almost perfectly. We're still well within budget too! Our projected completion time of early spring is well within reach.

Wolfsburg west sells the 12v wiper motor armature that replaces the 6v one in your bug. You keep everything that you have, just change out the armature.

We were about to go that route, then found a "67 12v two speed on TheSamba. We lucked out!

That's awesome! Love the attention to the details. Let us know when you have t-shirts & stickers available, I want some!

Thanks for the good info, looking for good ideas for my bug. BTW Max is a good boy 🐕

Holley has a “laser” (like $99) fuel sender that will work with your current fuel gauge. Just cut a hole in your current gas tank and be done.

I’m liking the engine build stuff. I’m considering a 1914 with a larger PICT type carb to keep it looking stock and driving well. I have a very stock but lowered 67 sedan

Go for it!
