Oval Window Ragtop Baja Bug.... (2017 Update!)

Rural Baja · 2015-01-20T05:41:27+00:00

Morning Lads, I have decided i want to put together a build thread of how my project Baja is going along at this point. So it all started with a Ragtop bug, a 65 that has had about twenty different owners over the last twenty years. It has been sitting in a shed down the east coast of Tasmania stripped for a long time. I just happened to drop in, throw a wad of cash around and got it towed home. It had a pretty nasty hit up front, and has had the rear apron removed. Someone in the past has welded in new heater channels and pillars, but that must have been a long time ago. Fast forward another month or so after bringing it home, and after a few beers with a few mates, the plan was made to backdate her to an oval. And not just the shitty back window conversion, the semaphore pillars and the front windscreen/dash. And what a major job it's been so far! But the plan has and always will be a late 60's early 70's style oval ragtop baja bug... Just to piss the purists off.... 😂

RB - that's some impressive body work you have achieved on your Oval Baja Ragtop creation. Well done mate. It's like a Frankenstein of Beetles.....and does look good.
You've definitely broken the back of your project....so don't feel too overwhelmed with what's left to do. Just keep chipping away at it, one job at a time. You'll get there.
Look forward to seeing another update and then some pics when your doing your maiden drive in her.
Cheers,
LM

What's happening with this? Been more than 12 months, update?

Nobody can drive you crazy, unless you give them the keys.
