I am hoping to have our beetle BAJAed by end of August.

We are driving it around now to sort out the problems

Marc

getting there...

hopefully his little brother looks up to him!!

so i am guessing their FOPS not ROPS on top when your doing the test drive?

dub.

i cant talk tho i have no floor and no wheels

this is my J&S project, but if craig gets off his butt it will be his.

Well I have given up setting dates for mine but I am HOPING to be ready for the Fraser trip in October as well. Hey WIBBLE what do ya reckon about the Creb track around November. Ya up for it nn[ Edited on 30-6-2005by Andy42 ]

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

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.

HEEEYY...

tim, email me your photos and ill post em for you and explain to you on how to post..

i moved into my own unit with the missus on the weekend and my buggy evie finally got her own garage with heaps of space! fuckin awesome! so hopefully work will be full steam ahead from now on! will post pics when i take some!

So its will go soon terry like weeks or months i will come up for a look when it does maybe you can take me for a spin and anthrion i was in the same spot you were spend money and time on the old baja and put of the new big mean one well i decided to sell the old one and get on the new one but i have a daily driver my kombi.
And air fooled ill try to work out how to email pic's yeah yeah i know i don't know shit about puters but ill try and thats cool about the new place its a good thing to just to go out to the shed and crank the tunes and have a few :beer and get some work done and just for good measure another:beer.

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

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.

i met a guy coincidently at the offroad weekend in jimna who owned my car about 10 years ago so he says. and he was cruising aroud on a little yammy.

u can get peewee 50 copys for a grand brand new. but id rather an old z

Going nuts, working flat out (thanks to Kurt) between now and Fraser Trip, it's starting to take shape and I am excited
