Hi all.  ;-)up
Some of you oldies may remember me from such sites as bajaclub, bitswap & vzi.

Sadly after sitting idol for 9 tears the ol' baja is beyond economical repair.
I've been looking at re-shelling but most look nearly as bad as mine, so I think the future is going to be LWB and plastic. 8)

Hi Lurker  :D it solves a lot of rust problems and leaves you with a easy to repair pan under a low maintenance body.

Great potential buggy look - keep the paint colour & stars, exhaust, mudflaps and wheels but lose the roof-rack.

Oh and the splash of yellow on the engine is an inspired touch !

Hello and welcome. There are plenty of nice shiney new lwb kits out there. I built a Jas about 10 years ago, it was a fun and easy build.

Kits are available from Jas, Doon, FF, Californian, GT, Volksrod and others.

Mk1 Jas just for info...

I know I`m going to upset those on the Muddy side with this comment . . . . .

But you will have far more fun in a Buggy   ;-)up

Thanks y'all.
For me traditional styling is the future, or the past or summink, but it's the way to go. 
I was almost tempted by the plastic Ghia on ebay as I have to do floorpans anyway but then I'd never get around to using my Bugzylla(?) adaptors.
Motor rebuild is almost finished so I may start a build thread soon.  ;-)up
