At first I was a little skeptical about the front bumper being all straight tube with no bends, but after seeing it with the front end on it looks a lot better. I nice aluminum skid plate would top that front end off nicely! How is the back bumper looking?

the rear bumper is the same as it is in that picture.. and right now, it doesnt have an engine, but yes, it does have a fuel filter.

Are you going to seal the ends of the tubes on your rear cage? Or is that where you put your fishing rods?

alot more work finished today and yesterday.
oil cooler with fan and thermostat.
new oil pump.
filter
new exhuast
oil light, idiot light, and cb radio.
both amber lights, and the led whip light works too.
the new wiring, almost done. everything works but the starter, which is basicly all i need.

should i keep the roof rack on or take it off? i like the look of both, but im wondering what all of you think.

You could always try to do the best of both worlds and make the top removable. Just make a flange that goes all the way around the cut line and you could bolt the top back on for bad weather or cold weather driving.

today i decided to build up my other bug into another baja. one for driving to work and whatnot. my other baja doesnt have any floor in the back, nor windows. and im going to take out the windsheild, and have it for desert use only. this way i can have a car to break, and one to drive around town.
this is what im starting with..
got new wheels and tires today. 60 bones, all have good tread.
this is the start of the project. more to come.

my buddy works at pflueger racing, and had some left over stickers from the new Trophy Truck. so he gave me one and i slaped it on my car. haha.
ill take it off one day when i re-paint the car. but as for now, i think it looks pretty rad.
