'73 VW Thing offroad toy


Recommended Posts

I might as well join in and post my project. I picked up a good project VW Thing a few months ago. Always wanted one.

 

Plans call for building it for offroad use. I've rewired it from scratch, added a 10 degree mount and VW Bus transaxle for strength and gearing. The stock Thing used 4.37 ring and pinion, the 3 rib bus transaxle is 5.38 and should work great with the 31/10.50-15 Boggers on the back. Front tires will be 237/75-15's.

 

Also added disc brakes on the rear. Just about ready to modify the roll cage and install it. Hoping for a test run at Disney, Ok in March, 2017.
