Ragman....this is a very nice ride you are putting together. Looking forward to seeing the completed project. BIG TIME kudos to you for putting that car back to the way it should look.

Thanks for checking on my well being :lol:

I thought about slamming it on some brms, but for now, I'm just going with a stock set up since I already have all the parts and I'm trying to keep costs down. Down the road, if I decide to keep it, it will get the treatment.

Makes good sense plus it makes this thread a true testament that you really did go from Baja to bone stock.

Is this at Sonics! Everyone here tells me it's a good spot to cruise on fridays?

No new pictures, but I'm making progress. Here's some of the things I've been working on...finished the rims, mounted the tires, put in the transmission, replaced the transmission mounts, ordered a lot of parts, started the rear brake job, found a pair headlight buckets, installed rear decklid, blah blah blah. There's a ton of shit to do still.

Dennis -
We've done a couple cruises at Sonic. But nothing yet this year. When we do, I'll let you know for sure.
