Ok, got car, 69 Ball joint IRS semi auto bug.
Have a bug eyed baja kit.
Took off guards, off stock bonnet, put on bug eyed bonnet, and the bottom of the bonnet goes out a bit wide, to the point where the edge of the bonnet does not sit flush with the bonnet seam/rubber wateva u wanna call it.
Is it suppose to be like this. Or is the thing just not right?

Don't worry too much about it Chris... It's only a baja after all... Not as though you're building a show car or anything...
Mine has big gaps up around the top on the sides, no big deal...
Once it's on there and all painted up, no one will really spot it (except everyone on here coz you told us all 😂 )...
Unless it's a huge gap, then just bend the front a little before you fit the nose cone...
Looking Good btw

hey bernie, watup mate, long time no talk.
Guess what, just came back from my best mates 18th birthday, and besides the long story of fun and how i made my mates jaw drop in awh while i was drifting so naturally (for the first time) in an offroad buggy that they owned, i ended up coming home with a glove box lid and hinges that I just fitted on yesterday.
Howeva, am looking for another pair of front offroad wide eyed baja guards, and a nob for the glove box :P As well as a horn button of some sort that would fit the 67 baja sports steering wheel u gave me.

once u cut the front off.
try gently bending the sides out ever so slightly.
if your nose cone matches the bonnet then when u bolt it on with luck it will pull the sides out a little anyway but dont expect it to be perfect.

will give it a go. If anything goes pear shaped, its an excuse for a buggy :P
Was just a little worried for a second, but its good to see its not something retarded with the car.
cheers mate. 😀
It would be great to have this thing on the road for klub fest. Didn't see u there last yr nick. Spose its not that big to be coming from ur way though.
hmm, dats another prob i gotta talk about, got some rust around the bolt holes for the fenders. Will have to start a thread for help in that.

is it legal to have horn buttons on the dash?
or anywhere else besides hte wheel?
will get pics of rust in morning, for yas all to see.
i just wonder how i am to patch it up right so the bolts can still 'thread in'. worst senarios are, like always, in the most hard to access place, (THE A PILLAR 🙁 )
However, the door mounts aren't rooted. so there is still structural integrity. Got 2 spare lower door mount panels anyways, but they don't rap around far enough for the fender bolts.

i got hte air horns button on the dash. might as well do the same for the standard horn. seeing there will be no mount for the standard horn anymore.
Will be a million more times easier then fabricating a nice polished plate with a decent looking button in the middle.

chris i suggest you keep this car stock.
baja kit on....get approval for that. get the car registered as a baja bug and then do stuff like put air horns and big wheels and tyres and stuff on it.
u dont want anything at all on it that they are going to get you for.

K. Ur wisdom makes sense. On the bright side, the button for the horn is already mounted and sitting nicely. Just rewire it to a stock horn. 😀
I still gotz my stock 4 star wheels. Should get registered easily then. Once i get a motor.
Think i should keep stock exhaust too?

theres something on the left, will get pics of rust and taht tommorrow, but theres like, on the right, from what i guess, a reservoir for auto tranny fluid :S, cause theres a pipe, leading into a 'thing' under the right guard where it has a cap and u pull it off with a stick that shows the level of red fluid.

hmm, could sell them. but that means i gotta get off my ass, and do a manual conversion. Haha. Which means i gotta fit in a clutch tube, put in a good IRS box (costs money 🙁 )
yup, i still got ur emails refering to the offer.
U still interested in wanting back that 1300 too?
