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. _________________ 1965 Type 1 sunroof Baja / about 70k miles on self-rebuilt '74 1600 and counting / SP heads and aftermarket valve keepers / non-doghouse shroud with external cooler and filter / 1.5 qt extended sump / Weber 32/36 DFAV progressive carb / 009 dist with Pertronix / 1.25 ratio rockers and ball adjusters / 1.5" stainless steel J-pipes and carbon steel baja exhaust |
