Time to make the arse of this bug look a bit more like a baja!
I spent a fair bit of time getting the rear fenders and engine cover aligned nicely.
Then out with the angle grinder to chop the rear apron off.
Much better. 😁
Front beam mostly built up today and fitted my 2.5” lift spindles from NB Restorations. Superb build quality and attention to detail on the spindles (2nd pic shows the bug at stock height for comparison).
Painted up a nice new set of brake drums and the old tie rods. Hoping to finish up the last little bits on the chassis next week and then move onto starting to prep the body for paint (few odd welding jobs left too).
Got the Baja’s arse back down on some wheels and started to build up the front beam.
Made a good start on the chassis rebuild today. Fuel line and gear shift rod installed. Rear brakes rebuilt and new bearings pressed in. Loosely fitted most of the rear suspension components. 😁
