Re: der BajaRod

The stockgrilles are held in with tabs. I had originally thought to weld these in but, decided to mount these with small allen head bolts and nuts. This allows me to remove them as needed and give the look I have in mind for the car overall.

Re: der BajaRod

Not done a whole lot with some house remods going on. I have aquired an adjustable beam tho. I do have a question. This beam has Avis adjusters. I'm wondering what position I should set them to get maximum drop.

Re: der BajaRod

Well, another long weekend & not a lot done. Tho, I did get all my turn signal wiring sorted out. Also started to prepare to install taillights. Once I get placement sorted out, still have a bit of a hole to fill.

Re: BajaRod

Hadn't thought about the ground clearance. A couple of questions for you, Charlie. What is the mounted diameter of your rear tires? & How high off the ground is your pipes? Mine is stock height right now. I was thinking of dropping the rear one click but, may rethink that. Or I might think about ...

Re: BajaRod

Done ABSOLUTELY nothing on the BajaRod lately. Tho, I've tossed a bunch of ideas around my head. Spent a long time researching exhaust. Most of what I've read has kinda turned me off from my 1st choice (see intro thread). I'm leaning towards a 4 into 1 header but, i still want the dual pipes. Found ...

While this will by no means be a "Pretty" build, there are some things that will have to be taken care of. Removed the rear cover a found a mess of 'extra' screw holes. Those will have to be filled to prvevent any rust forming there. The rear cover also has a couple of spots to be filled. A littile ...

Re: BajaRod

Looks like a PO did some rigging with the fuel tank vent (?). I'm sure that cammo duct tape really stopped any leaks. :roll:
Not sure what the clear line that was hooked to the small nipple in the line is for. It ran to nowhere. Something tells me it's useless to my build.
