Hi all i bought and built this model in 88BigGrin so its very old but i kept it as i had a 1972 Baja bug which i converted myself and had it as my daily driver for 14 years Drool ,so the model has moved 6 times in all and survived each time until i came across it in the attic crushed between boxes O.M.G.Crying so i looked on various sites and the cheapest kit was $239 Blink i payed £15 for it in 88BigGrin so i decided to rebuild it has a rough and ready Baja instead of the road custom versionBigGrin here is the progress so farCool regards PhilCool
