Finished up the back of the rear bench today and trial fitted it to the frame. It’s passed schnauzer quality control!
Feel I’m definitely getting better at upholstery but I’m forever my harshest critic.
Quarter panel repairs trimmed to perfection. I’ve a few repairs to make to the inners of the quarters before I can weld these in.
Couldn’t resist test fitting the first seat cover! The baja’s interior is going to look pretty special I think.
Getting the next batch of repair panels fettled to fit the baja. Front arch inners are done. I’ll get the rear quarters fettled too before painting the insides of them all with epoxy and then welding them in.
Trial fitted the front wings to check the bolt holes. Can’t wait to test fit the rest of the baja kit now!
Floor pan day! Storming on with the welding at the moment.
Made myself some jumbo grips to help get a tight fit along the spine welds.
Both floor pans are now fully welded in, I just need to finish dressing the N/S pan welds.
Also got the pedal strengthener and hinge welded in.
Even this little dog seemed intrigued by the bug today!
A bucket load of welding completed on the bug over the weekend, and a ton of strength put back into the shell.
N/S door gaps checked and heater channel welded in:
Front bulkhead and rear cross members completely welded in too.
I’ve a bit of weld tidy up to do around the B pillars then I’ll be onto to fully welding in both floorpans.
The final piece of the furniture puzzle is complete! Cooker unit with 2 burner hob and grill.
I just need to mount it to a swing out hinge and get it plumbed in.
Full set of door cards for the Baja finished! (Barnaby helping out as usual).
There’s something just a little bit special about this fabric.
I’ll be starting to tear down the rear seat this week to make a start on reupholstering it soon.
