heres how they look
Link
finally converted to the spring plate eliminator to get rid of the squeaks, added dual shear.
had to rebuild rear shocks/New springs, making sure I still clear fenders. and test
then a whole 20 hours before heading to Fleetweek/car show in San Francisco I ran into 3rd gear shifting problems  total takedown/problem solve and test drive hours before heading off on a 300 mile trip
drilled a breather while i was at it too
at the show

Great Job!

Well  Is been a awesome ride with this thing.... But here it comes 
more even worse transmission problems have come at me again. the whole "Rarity" of the transmissions and gold prices for even the Ring&P I have kinda made up my mind on this little idea of a new car, and totally get away from a vw box altogether (the main problems with car. Vw parts ).
just need 1975 or older for Ca smog.
so in the process of new ideas.
building a:
Datsun truck
toyota truck
porsche
or truck frame Bug body
whatever comes up first and for the right $$ Using all parts from the baja but adding a toyota 5 speed and solid rear axle. and whatever left will probably part out
took like $80 the night before the problem hit  haha

Jeff that blows. This happening to you doesn't make me happy about having to shell out for a trans, which I have to soon.

Dang, you are living up to your name.... In a good way I will say. 
FL350? Plans for that? Glad you got rid of the other stuff.
Nice shop from what we could see.

thanks
Selling it 1 of these days. its fully original and clean.just need to shine it up! dont want to drive it cause I might scratch it haha.
so installed my 002 bell housing on the 091. Its got the 4.57r&p yay
it has springs to center shifter or whatever? but after installed in car it wont allow shifter to travel to 3-4th at all.
removed springs everything is flawless until test drive and 4th gear is spun :2gunfire: got the trans Out again ready to disassemble so I can take it out on Newyears
heres the springs
also bringing this thing back to life after breaking a Bj, then stealing the motor.

091 trans works great, took off light bars for Rigid pods, started painting(everything but roof) mounted my little Gps everything is perfect!
Until
Last night in extreme fog I slowed and stopped to a stop sign And the 4 runner tried but didnt doing 35 
Power steering pulley, pump/mount, ripped radiator hose, brake light, bumper is banged up with only minor fatigues/crack, havent looked on the inside cage yet but Passenger and I walked away unharmed!

Glad you 2 are OK, other driver OK? That really sucks. Hope insurance will work with you to make things proper.

| WOw judging by the damage to the 4 runner vs your bug, I would have to say I have great confidence in that cage. Your car will live to see another day, the Toyota, not so much. |

little update.
Other guy was Drunk and arrested.
Their Insurance was good for payment on repairs for the baja. printed prices on everything that was damaged and got what it was plus labor times ect.
My passenger had major neck back Soreness for a few weeks from whiplash, All apparent problems have gone away.
Me also with whiplash, minor sciatic nerve problems,legs,back,neck pains,numbness of arms/legs so unable to work a few weeks sucked
its all Slowly going away but 1 joint in my neck.
got car drivable. the left stub axle or Hub is bent after a test drive so that must has took a big slam. also seem to have to pump brakes, damaged caliper or just happen to need masters rebuilt
Also sold my commuter car,Single seat rail, datsun projects and some tires and bought a Ranger  with all my Luck i Need bigger Car than my ford focus
