Hi all,
Dropped into my Brothers place on Saturday (to take pics of the storm damage to his place/vehicles :cry - but thats another story) and discovered that
Mud Bashing's Baja shell was in the process of changing colour - I believe that MB himself does not know that the painting process is under way
so....SURPRISE! 
Only the inside is painted so far as the roof has to be re-straightened after the vicious hail storm that we suffered from on Wednesday (only very
minor damage).
Looks good so far don't you think? The quality of the paintwork is incredible...hope mine comes out this good!

...dashboard....
Thanks for the pic Ross the colour looks good keep the pics coming
Marc
...back shelf...
...rear of car...
What happened to Dave's baja beside it??
Man that must have been a bad storm......its blown the body off.........:P
...Haven't you been told about Daves Baja? It's undergoing it 3rd (or is it 4th...or 5th...) rebuild. IRS conversion being the most important
change but the body needed a new sill on the passenger side as well as other minor rust repairs so the decision was made to start from scratch and do
everything over again to make it as strong as possible... I suggested that I put a couple of pics up, but he didn't want me to give away any of his
secrets...

Is that a rear fuel spout I see?
it all depends on who is asking you or a transport officer
ha ha and ross minor rust repair to daves car you have to be pulling it that thing has more welded in metal than factory metal

Now thats funny water cap i like the air to water intercooler now thats great idea mike :thumb . and why is it that when someone says that its a water
cap you all run and hide, if he said that air coolers were shit and that the hole was for water them would be fighting words (ha ha ha mud bashing
giglling). i went over today and did alot more wet rubbing (the stuff that really really sucks) now i have to fix up the hail damage on the roof i can
primmer and wet rub that yippie then bazz a mate of mine some off you might now his bus blue and white one, plates 57BUS can come up and work his
magic on the rest of the car. ross that sill replcement was easy for dave but he don't need and more cars and keg behind the seat know there an idea
that would be the next step up from dyno who has a stubbie holder bolted to the floorpan in his manx
Thanks to dave and bazz for the work done and storage !!
also ross for the photos
Tim, let me know once more colour has been applied and I will take a couple more pics and post them here...
R
Yeah no worries will be wet rubbing all next week so hopfully some time soon
Why are you painting it ??? It is just going to get rolled trying to keep up with the Buggies 
All i got to say is bring them out and well see who rolls what trying to keep up with what also i hope they like the look of the back of bajas
he he he - I'm keeping out of this one * walks back over to the corner and takes cover *
It sounds like the old saying 'put your money where your mouth is' is applicable here....
R
It may be all painted this weekend after sanding 24/7 for months ill try to get photos
SHould be good at the rate your going and at the rate I am working on mine they should be finished around the same time. So will be able to take a buggy and a baja out and leave all the wanna bees at home. :kiss
