WOMBAT Assembly Manual Donors and Parts A donor vehicle is the original car on which the WOMBAT is built. Choose a Donor Vehicle The Wombat Kit Car is designed to fit on a stock, standard Volkswagen Classic Bug chassis. (Also fits Thing and Kharmann Ghia chassis.) The chassis does not require any modification for the kit to fit other than removal of the floor pan. It is possible to merely swap the bodies, but we highly recommend that you carefully examine the mechanicals and replace or recondition them as necessary. At this point in time most people start with a non-running unit and restore it, which gives them the option to install the engine / transmission combination to match their desired performance and price range The kit will not fit a Super Beetle unless the front end of the chassis is modified. (Not recommended-this would involve cutting off the Super Beetle front end and welding on a standard front end.) We plan to have a Super Beetle Compatible Kit available by 2004. We recommend you locate a VW shop or enthusiast in your area to use as a resource for advice on how to set up the chassis to best suit your needs. The book Baja Bugs & Buggies, How to prepare VW-based cars for off-road fun and racing , by Jeff Hibbard, is an excellent information source to use when making decisions about your donor chassis. It is published by HPBooks, ISBN 0-89586-186-0. Points to consider when selecting a donor vehicle are: • Emission Requirements in your area. In most locales, cars manufactured before a certain year have less stringent emission requirements than later model cars. Check your local requirements. You may wish to purchase an earlier year car to avoid hassles with the DEQ. • Licensing Requirements It may be easier to start with a licensed running bug with a valid title than a junkyard pan. • Be sure the donor Bug has a valid title. If you discover you’ve built your kit on a stolen chassis the original owner on the donor bug will be the legal owner of your kit car. • Your preference of a Swing Axle or CV rear end suspension. • What you consider will be the primary use of your Wombat • Professional Mechanic’s Inspection. You want to avoid (or at least be aware of and correct) bent front and rear suspensions; worn ball joints, bearings, and brakes; transmissions that sound out of gear. If you’ve determined that a part is going to used in the finished Wombat, be sure it is in good working order. WOMBAT Assembly Manual
