I think most people want to get to fraser in october but setting deadlines on projects only means one thing they going get broken i would post pics if i new how
Anthiron ·
well the offroad races in jimna gave me a few ideas and motivation to get off my arse and do something with my baja. im supposed to be building another one but might have to put that on hold and work on my current car. i put my new seats in today (thanks vwfool👍 ) and im starting on some new door cards. gotta get some wide rear baja guards so i can whack on the wider rear wheels (thanks andy👍 ) and ive got some coil over adjustable shocks on a spares car back at dads place ive got to put on my driver. then my front end needs cutting and turning.

As for my beast gear box is mounted axles are of getting machined when they come back i can put them in place and see how much i can cut out of the spring plates. I did a bit of body and paint this afternoon but still so much sanding to go, My bike is almost sold so motor bits will be ordeded soon ye ha will try and get some pics
Anthiron ·
im in the process of sanding the interior of my baja now as ive ripped the remainder of the pink plush pile house carpet out (bloody hippies!) and so when all the 80's yellow gunky glue is sanded back ill primer and paint in matt black (im not worrying about things being pretty im just after functionabilty) ive got the rear seat out at the moment for sanding and was thinking of leaving it out all together and making a platform to cover the battery and the building a storage box above this that has a trap door in the bottom for battery access. the storage box bring the level up with the rear storage compartment (the bit behind the seat) where the top of the storage unit would continue back to form a flat platform in the rear of the car where i could whack camping gear and maybe a little z50 im thinking of buying👍 would be awesome to cruise out to a camping spot or out on the dunes and whip out the 50 and hoon around.
