Thanks for the help with the pics and the link Jace
I'll obviously need to learn how to do all that tech stuff myself
and for the kind words bluebaja and yeah you're right I thought it was a very reasonable price
I stopped counting the cost long before it was finished and that's not taking any time into account my time at all
time doesn't worry me though doing this sort of stuff, I love nutting things out for myself
Hardly anybody who has seen it believes that I made it myself until they see the progress pics (I don't even have a shed!!)
can't wait to be able to spend a bit of money on the baja (when I figure out the pics thing I'll put some up.
I put some details below
