Marc forwarded these two jeeps for sale in South Africa. The first is a Gobex Jade Jeep, a kit jeep that is no longer produced. Marc’s trying to find out what happened to them.

The second jeep is a Badger Jeep, A veep-like kit car with a VW engine. What’s most interesting is that the tires are Desert Dog PCV Tires, yet the tires don’t include PCV like other PCV tires I’ve seen.

Good day.
I am from Cape Town, South Acrica. I purchased a old unused Badger body and want to restord and build a Badger VW Jeep. I also purchased a doner vehicle for this project, namely a 1972 VW Beetle. The Beetle body is rusted beyond economical repair, but the undercarriage and engine, gearbox with all other components are in good condition.
I am looking for information as to how much I need to shorten the floorpan and other specifications to get the Badger as close to the original as possible. Any information will be highly appreciated.
Kind regards
Gideon. De Swardt
Gideon,
I don’t have any information specific to the Badger setup, but maybe the Hadley Jeep/VW directions can give you some insights? http://www.ewillys.com/2014/01/09/veep-brochure-and-assembly-instructions/
