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.

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.
