I like 215 70 -80s for the front on 5" or narrower rims. 235s and bigger for the rear.

Wiring retry much well done, I was chicken and didn't cut off any wire length so had to hide it in a big black tube. But it'll do.

I'm digging the paint job on this thing! And I wish i'd have made my wiring that clean when I did my bug...

Bought some rubber mat at home dot on sale for $49, 7x14 cut and fit into the bug, doesn't look bad in front but in the rear in looks kinda crappy as it just doesn't fit well. Anyhow don't reccomend it to anyone else but I gave it a whirl, and still have 7x7 feet left of the mat to play with.....

Working on interior, applied seat covers but the fit is sloppy, going to try to add some padding to fill them out. Made door panels from thin plywood and rubber mat glued with contact cement. Also new floor mats and an 8 ball shifter. I would in retrospect buy a fitted carpet interior and good seat covers but ya live and learn. Also added a pulley cover for safety and dress up.

Moving the filter is not a bad idea like you said cheap insurance. I have run them on my bikes for years without any probs, but like you say if it breaks I would be screwed.

Got some humvee seat belts off ebay, and ordered cip brackets. Belts are good quality and I will post pics when I get them mounted

Belts in, fit like a glove. Had to buy 2 bolts, nuts and washers otherwise all there

I think the diomand black floor mat and panels looks just fine from the pics, I like it! I am always about making your own path and think that is what a baja is all about, there is no wrong or right and I applaud your creativity!!
