...can't forget to update the Sambians....
So, in an effort to seal off the front end, and to keep the tow strap n' tools contained I came up with this storage box.
Still need to do the outside pieces... but...
Its all tacked together.... just need some latches...
Good enough for a baja bug... just don't dare walk near it with any kind of measuring tools...
Its no Cadillac trunk... but it'll hold the basic tools, a towstrap and some jumper cables just fine...
...just for size reference..

The door hinges are attached to the cage... so, once they are in place, there will be NO sagging.

Still pecking away..
I spent A LOT of time fitting the new body today, and other than door mounts, its officially bolted on.
still,
Only visible progress is my spare tire mount. The studs n' lugs are the same size as the ones in my hubs... so when I forget to tighten lugs and sheer the studs two miles from camp, I have some parts to get me home. And both my rear wheel, and front fit under the fiberglass.
So... I'm back to hanging doors again on the car. The subtle changes in how I mounted the body made my hinge mounts worthless...  f***.
Looks more like a car sitting still in my garage though....

"Life" is getting in the way of my baja bug time. I won't have time to work on it for at least a week...

Its just a little ol' 2.2. I figure the estimated 170hp and the 33's are more than enough trouble for my 091 anyway...
...and thanks for the "  " Bomberbaja..
