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.

Left side cover cut & trimmed:



Test fitting cover:



Test fitting both:



Till next time,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Taking a short break from glasswork to start fabbing up some plates to fill in the dash holes,,,,,,,

Might be a good reason to finally get back to the Island. lol

Nice ! Hey,,,looks the regi expires on me bday!

And you could top them off with something like this,,,,,

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.

Not meaning to hijack your thread but, found this little tip for doing ball joints on another vw forum. May be of use later.

C'mon,,you're driving a Baja. You don't want to fit in. Fitting in is boring.

Should steer good now.

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.

Keep plugging away as you can. Bug's looking good. That plate is like they were when I was a kid.

No problem on the time. Hadn't been able to get to the shop to work on it much. Those will help me decide which way I want to go.

Done very little the last couple of weeks. Getting back to work after the holidays & wife being sick. Tho, I did get some time to get my f/turn signals sorted out. Started to figure out the rears so I can get rid of those stupid a-- trailer lights back there. Have a set of Watson's SpeedWorks LEDs ...

Looking Good !!!!

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 ...

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 ...

Actually, my plans for the dash include welding up the holes & then making holes for gauges, switches & indicator lights.

extra mounting holes,,,,,,,,


gotta fix this electrical rats nest,,,,,,,,,,

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 ...

PO also had a thing for Great Stuff. Already dug a mess of this junk out of the car already.

Another line I have no idea what it's for. (Gotta get me a book--- ) This ones from the drivers side of the tank & is blocked off completely.

Looks like a PO did some rigging with the fuel tank vent (?). I'm sure that cammo duct tape really stopped any leaks.
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.
