We head out to Rancho Santa Margarita, CA to check out Evan's garage built VW Baja Bug. This bug is a perfect capable budget build that's street legal. After the breakdown, James goes on a cruise and experiences VTEC for the first time!

These budget/garage builds are infinitely more interesting than the high end stuff.

@flipped68 3 года назад

I’m so damn convinced now of building a bug.

@dakotamonroe9746 3 года назад

@@flipped68 do it, the most aftermarket of any car I’ve ever owned. I’ve owned Toyota’s, 80’s git’s, the bug always had a kit or part for anything I needed.

@thingsforgotten2254 3 года назад

@phxxr650r This is absolutely a budget build relative to some of the other trucks show on Terra. You could build this bug for just the cost of the front shocks on Nick Isenhouer's F150

These are the guys and builds who really matter. They show what’s achievable for the money / skills / tooling of the average car guy. The mega bucks pro builds are great but this is the stuff to motivate you to go build your own. Big respect to you guys.

@judycurtis5829 Год назад

My husband had given up on his dream to do a build, but then he saw this. He’s 66, on disability, goes to the VA for his medical care, and spends most of his days counting the “specks” on the bedroom ceiling or “tubing”. He basically has no mechanical skills as his career was in the medical profession. Money is tight, and meds are expensive, but this MIGHT be doable. We’ll see.

Baja bugs have always been very bad ass in the capability department! I live in western oregon and been running deep rutted mud roads for 30 years. Running big tired full sized,or Toyotas.,jeeps. I have witnessed good running bajas with 31 s and a heavy right foot handle obsticals that 44 inch tired 400plus hp rigs can't touch! This build is very very cool! I want one!

@speedbuggy16v 3 года назад

Nice build, love the front suspension, I used to build long travel rails. This looks to be a good middle of the road build that the average guy can afford! good call on a reasonable size tire to save the trans. Very cool ride!

@mdhammer525 3 года назад

4:55 the 5.38 8/43 ring and pinion that came in the early 3 rib is the weakest pinion ever put in a vw trans. 5.43 7/38 or 4.57 7/32 from the 5 or 6 rib trans are much stronger

@amorton94 3 года назад

I'd like a better breakdown of his cost. He says around $15k in parts but then talks about how budget everything is. Based on everything he said, I see like $7k, which is awesome.

@adlerarmory8382 Месяц назад

Amazing how that bug rips with just a 002 transaxle. Of course the weak point is the transition from Forward gears to Reverse. Weddle makes some reasonably priced upgrades to make the 002 more durable under the more ham-fisted shifters occupying the LH seat.
