- 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.
I’m so damn convinced now of building a bug.
@@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.
@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
T:"So tell me about the car?"
ownr: Well, I paid $300k for it..
T: "And, what else..?"
ownr: Well that's all I really know about it..?
T: "Hmmmm..."
ownr: LETS GO TRASH IT!!
@phxxr650r it's 25k-30k in parts and 50k of his own (free) labor. Don't be a lazy gob.. anyone could do it.
For some reason this is one of my favorite builds you guys have shown. Probably for it’s simplicity and the fact it can shred!
I completely agree with your comment. What a simple, inexpensive and FUN little rig.
I agree ! The car is awesome .
Hard to not love a simple build that you can beat on.
PERFECT realistic Blue Collar Build every guy can relate. I remeber when it wasnt like " Ooo i have 13" and 17" of travel as if thats not enough. lol. my first race truck weighed more and had les travel.. this chasing the number game is outa control. Nice Build...
im now fully on board building one of these Vtec i even can get the bus trans for free :)
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.
Because of this video I literally went out and bought myself a Baja bug. Thanks guys!
I’m buying one Wednesday lol. Gonna get a Honda motor too.
ill agree to the previous comments. so far this is my favorite one. you got a regular ol car guy just doing something he loves with what hes able to get. humble and fun cant ask for anything better
One of the most effectively best builds ever! You just can't beat it for fun. 👍
As much as I love a beam setup, that's a nice looking front suspension.
I was thinking the same
Love to see a simple build that isnt worth more than my house
I don't know anything about this stuff, but seeing how that rig handled those whoops I think I'd be more than happy with that setup, especially at what seems to me like a very reasonable price for the front suspension.
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.
How’d it go??
@@OperationTouge_STi Well, it hasn’t….. yet.
Sounds familiar…..
I can’t wait to have the cash to build one for my wife! Her dream vehicle is an old vw bug , but I’m from California, her Costa Rica and I showed her my high school 92 yota single cab long travel prerunner & then a long travel vw bug and she melted!😍 Now this is her dream vw bug if feasible ( God willing) 🙏🏽
Hell yea!!! Love the front suspension. Building a budget Baja bug myself. Using a J35 A6 Honda engine with an 091 bus transaxle.
Where’d u get ur parts?
Great episode. Love seeing quality builds for people who don't have $50k to drop!
That car is sick! I'm thinking I need to do a Honda swap in my baja...
Always give mad respect to those doing something different and on a budget! Watched the whole thing!
3L V6 is overkill, but I guess it skips needing a turbo !
I love how practical this build is, he's a Genius 👍
Love the emphasis on safety too, RESPECT.
Great build u guys! Nothing wrong at all with the budget builds! As long as u have fun
Every time you guys post a baja bug vid it makes me want to sell my prerunner for one!
3:14, LMAO, we wheelied it.... I'm more a stock vw guy but I can appreciate this and learn about this versatile car.
Even catching a little older stuff, it's always a pleasure tuning in fellas, stay safe. Salute 🤚
Same here. 2023 and I liked this video.
When vtec kicks in 🔥
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!
It'd be really cool to put a spec list for this bug and a supplier list for dudes wanting to build something like this. That'd be really useful. Great build.
Baja’s are the OG!
BajaSociety yeetyeet!!
Awesome build! The simplicity and low budget make it great. I love to see these home builds and the creativity that people have.
This was probably my favorite edit you have done yet. Had me laughing a lot.
You should produce this as a product for the desert masses!!!!
Really good footy of it in action as well I really enjoyed your video you've given me some new ideas I've got a little spot in ensenada.
what a great down to earth, practical, performance build . Fantastic,thank you.........
Thanks for the video That's the exact front end I'm looking for mine build nothing over the top now I got motivation to finish mine
Awesome ride, I love the bug coverage! Keep up the good work.
Now my favorite Baja Build on U-tube🎉
Great job!
Defo one of my fav builds, 100% love it 👌👍
Keep the real rides commin!! Great episode.
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!
It's got the sounds the feel. It's a win. Super fkn rad lil bug. Awesome build n great video bro !
Its really cool to see roads that I recognise in the background.
Awesome seeing the budget build and James your awesome dude , love your interviewing style !
Ive watched this video like 20 times
Also... Balls of steel running that Honda on a 3 rib....💥💣
Awesome, kool build
Very kool bug.
Beautiful toy so nice and clean thanks for sharing.
Siiiiiick! That thing rips
Need more of this
Outstanding Video/build...would love to see this one in the new baja bug movie comming out...keep up great work...
Very cool , thank you for sharing
LOVE this build!! Making suspension and setup work in the rough stuff without selling any body parts. Lol
For what it is, it's PERFECT.
This is definitely an interesting build...inspiring.
awesome video!!! more home built projects
I went and bought me a baja bug roller because of this video, amazing car and thank you for sharing it with us!
Hows it coming now?
More builds like this🙌🏼
That's a badass bug! Watching this made me want to get one lol I'm from Huntington Beach. Rock on!
Great job with the build.
great skills in the fabrication.
That thing is sick. Garage built!
Killer budget Baja Bug gets you a subscriber. Hell yes.
Can't wait to start a build someday..
A Baja build for less than $20K that's awesome!!! That is one amazing bug build!
Eric this car is amazing.
Your best ACVW video yet.
Fun build, inspiring!!
That’s Baja is killer.
Badass build vtec rips
Thank you.
Realy great build all the best forvyou
That was cool. Thanx
This is a super cool episode, it doesn't take much talent to whip out your credit card but to build on a budget is very fun!!!
I dig that home built feel sick ride
Honda for the win!! Hell yeah let's goo!!!!!!
Outstanding.
i want to get your plans on every thing, that is the best ever so far ive seen,
That suspension is dialed!! Nice car bro!!
Very cool bug! I agree with the other comments, love the more home built stuff. I am far from the safety police, but you need a firewall in the back. If you get rear ended or break a hose, Oh man! ....Ask anyone with coolant burns.
My dad had a few Bugs when I grew up, I had a Type III.
That is probably one of the coolest bugs I've seen.
Takes me back to when to when my dad and I did a similar build in the early 2000s. Almost same setup just 3 seater, fuel cell up front, and a 3.2 vtech. Still yellow and ripping around ocotillo wells.
I will always have a soft spot for bugs
I would like to see the build, I too have a v6 honda going in. Similar setup. Neat bug , cool build!
Awesome bug!!
What very clever creative man unbelievable what great fun toy
Nice job man!
I had the BIGGEST 😊 when he took you for a ride, and I wasn't even their!! Man living in Maryland, we don't have shit like that. But MAN IT LOOKS DOPE!!!
Great feature!
VERY nice!
Had that same J motor in my buggy. Damnit should never of sold it! And can rebuild those IRS Trans all day.
My favorite build u have showed so far
That’s a good sounding v Tec better than others
Yoooo this has me wanting to build a bug now!
There are lots of bug Honda swaps out there this is the best i have seen .
Damn this is a badass build!
I have completely changed my mind about building a prerunner truck... im gonna build one of these now.
I wish this guy had a channel documenting this build
Just bought a body without a floor pan this bug is a huge inspiration to where I’m gonna take the build
Stoked to see a Honda in a VW. Always wanted to do a build like that.
BAD ASS BRO.
UA represent
That car is super nice and I love how the reliability supersedes the performance.
It kills alot of the fun when the cars broke all the time.
I'd rather have it be able to be pushed then have to get out and push.👌😁
I'm just starting to build a Baja bug for my son and I,
I'm definitely interested in how to upgrade to that type of suspension!!!
More Bugs !!!
I want to build this baja, thanks!
Very cool ! I love this build . I'm building an A-arm Buy myself. But ... who's prerunner is across the street ?? Haha
