Baja Update

Ok so let me update on the baja. Everything in the blog thus far has been sold except the motor. As I was getting into the project I realized that I may never finish the bug when something happens and I have to sell everything and not even have the joy of driving it. There was so much work to do I feared I would put all this time into it and not even enjoy it. And the kicker that set this off is that I started to find a lot more rust than I wanted to repair and it was in places that it wasn't even worth repairing. So I sold everything and started to look for a running bug that I could fix along the way. Well I needed to sell the Elantra to get $$ to buy me something. It took about 6 weeks to get the car sold. As I was trying to sell the car I found this baja on craigslist that was a great package. And to everyone's shock it was another project. Meaning it isn't even running. But the package pretty much came with everything and just needs to be put together. Seriously it had so many new parts. Like I always do, I got in the I have to have it mode where that is all I think about. So the moment I sold the car I called the guy up and made him an offer he accepted. Two days later I brought everything home.

First Day Working

So Scotte and I started working on the baja today. We didn't get much done because the welder wasn't woring properly. We just got the front bumper sanded down. It was rusty. And started to strip the paint with aircraft paint stripper. Not much but we have started. Here are some photos.
