Have been working on the 72 Baja between a couple of other old car projects. I think I'm getting too old for this stuff..... Anyway, it is starting to look like a real Baja Bug even though there are still many things to do. I got the brakes replaced and bled, taillights mounted, guts in the drivers door, exhaust fitted, and several small parts cleaned and painted. Maybe by the end of summer or next spring for sure.

If your rear fiberglass piece is held on by sheeeeet metal screws, i suggest you replace them with conventional cap screws and nutserts.
