Hi everyone. I've just joined the group after purchasing a 1971 Beetle. I am intending to completely restore it and as I am a pretty good welder and sprayer, I...
Hi all, I'm new to the group. I'm about to buy a 1972 beetle that's been converted to the Baja. It's also had 1600 Ghia engine installed with twin Webbers, a...

I too thought it must have the 'standard' torsion bar suspension as I thought 1302 and 1303 were notoriously bad at forming the basis of Baja bug - ie they...

This is a bugger to do properly. Are you taking the body off? If so I would do the whole section, ie 37. Is the luggage platform behind the rear seat and...
37 is for standard bugs - 38 is the part(s) I need. It's the front of the car as well not the rear, the bit just before the framehead. Maybe when it's up on...
