Lone Buggin is on a distinguished road
Default Movin' on up

First post, new member.

My daily driver is a 1966 VW Bug, converted to Baja. I have frostbite on my hands and feet though, so for winter driving, I need something with heat. It would also be nice to have something I can use as a tow vehicle, possibly capable of getting as far back into the sticks as the Bug can, incase something breaks.
My new aquisition:

Jezebel (the VW) is going to be so jealous.

It's a '68. I have more pics, but I don't have anywhere to host them. I'm using a 'tography forum I frequent for that one. I think this is the best pic of it. The others show off the rocker-rot, wheel well rot, etc. I'm out of the country until June, so really, I haven't seen it in person yet myself. I get back June 6th, and I'll be picking it up on June 8th. She's already paid for though.

Couple more pics. Seems I had more bandwidth available than what I thought. Opening them in mspaint and resaving them really cuts down on their size. The wheel wells are very religious , I think they may be Catholic. But the battery tray is solid. I think I'll start with having the front seats redone, add in some heat for them while I'm at it. The rag top looks near perfect, I haven't seen the hardtop yet. The hardtop is missing the driver's side window.. it's intact, it just fell out. Same thing is getting ready to happen to the driver's rear window on my bug too. Just need new rubbers and about 6ft of kite string.




Oh, it's got Warn lock-0-matics up front, and it's missing the driver's rear hubcap.

So I figured I would keep my stupid questions in this thread.

I've been looking, and haven't seen an answer one way or another.. Will 31's fit under a stock height Jeepster?
