the guy has all the windows for it, just need to be put in. has a bad clutch, shouldnt be too hard to put in. going to barrow a friends shop to replace it. the porsche 2.0 had 95HP. my old bug only had about 50 or so and it was pretty fun to play around with. now knock off about 200 pounds from the 914, and another 30-40 pounds for the baja kit, and its going to pretty fun.


if all goes well(which it usualy dosnt) im picking it up this weekend.

yeah i know. but i dont have the money. lol. after i get another job and get out of the house i WILL own two cars. baja bug, and a 318 or something. and no, the truck sold today. owner picked it up about half an hour ago. thats ok because it was starting to fall apart(its old, and i put it through alot of abuse. i like the bugs because almost everything on it is made out of steel, pretty hard to break. theres a video on myspace of a buy rolling his bug and he tips it over, checks it out, and drives away.

This is just my opinion but i don't like that beetle, you don't need a hardcore off road car unless your gonna do the baja 1000. You just buy a normal street car whatever it is you want.

are you kidding me? my cars get off roaded almost weekly. weather its made for it or not. if i buy a car for offroading, i use it for that. this is my opinion:


if you buy an suv, truck, or anything made for offroading, you better freakin use it for that or i will hate you.


trust me, if i buy an offroader, its taken off road all the time because thats what i bought it for.

I hear that. The car looks great for off road, and lighter cars can be a lot of fun out there. That exhaust might need a bit of work...
