My New Project 1968 Baja Bug

This is my new/old 1968 Baja Bug that I will be rebuilding. Its in pretty good shape for a 1968, but does need some tlc. I have an 1835 High Performance Turnkey Motor and Transmission on the way. Hydraulic Clutch, New Wiring Harness, and Peddle Assembly. Have to get the workbench set up first. Looking forward to my new toy :)

@scooterscottii - Thanks Scott ;) I had an old Dune Buggy in high School that i rebuilt. That VW Smell mixed with Oil and Gas gets into your blood. My Son is going to help me take the engine out today...maybe that smell will get into his blood too.

@flaircraft No. Take it off road, that's what a Baja is for! A few scratches are badges of honor.

Those little engines are so realiable, once I drove an old beetle 500 miles just to discover that only one piston had above 90 psi compresion and the others below 40. Great project, good luck!
