Long time lurker first time posting, lol. Love the site. My name is Sal living in San Pedro. Love to hike, 4x4, and get outdoors. I like to take pictures and photography is a small hobby of mine. I have a sick VW obsession, i have built a class 11 trail car that is ready to hit some trails.

Welcome to the board, Sal. Always like to see new folks check in and tell us a bit about themselves.

Please be sure to read the forum guidelines. We hope to hear more from you about your buggy. Sorry to hear about your obsession - none of here are obsessed about anything

Nice VW! 1969?

I had a rack just like that. It was the best $99.00 I ever spent. It's amazing how much gear you can stuff in a bug!

Hello,
congratulatuons to this car. My fiirst car 40 yaers ago was a similar one with 34 Hp but it was offroad very good better as some 4x4 of today.

How does the air cooling work in the hot desert?

Kind regards from the VW-country.

I just rebuilt the motor recently, and did a few upgrades on the car- here is the short list

Rebuilt 1914 motor
Added Remote oil cooler with fan
Added Oil pres, oil temp, cyl temp, voltmeter, and tach
Raised the rear

Im still working out the bugs on the motor, the only thing i really want to do to the car before i take it offroad is add a skid plate

But the motor has a ton of power

And yes thats the motor on the kitchen counter, lol (wife was on vacation)

Clean! We are getting quite a broad selection of vehicles here now. There is a VW Van that shows up once in a while. BlabbeRon is what he calls himself and I believe he said he took a VW van up to Panamint City years ago when the road was still good. What we need now is a 4wd school bus. There used to be one in Bishop at the airport that was used to haul hang gliders up to the launch sites in the Inyos. That thing was neat. We could all just leave our rigs at camp and grab a bunch of booze and head up to Hunter or where ever. Andy could drive LOL...
