A few little jobs on the baja over the weekend.

The black side trim that I ordered back in December finally arrived and is now all installed.

Gearbox mounts and steering box all painted. I did just intend to clean up the steering box but quickly found that the only thing stopping it from leaking was the 40+ years worth of filth on it so needed to strip it down to replace the seals anyway.

I picked up a big box or two of bits from the powdercoaters so have started getting these components attached. Everything that is usually chrome on a bug has been painted black for this.

And finally I’ve started getting the rest of the brake lines in. I stupidly ordered a set of the hard lines that run from the reservoir down to the master cylinder without realising they’re LHD only. So ended up ordering some pipe off eBay and making my own instead.
