Howdy!
A few weeks ago I told my wife I was going to get some groceries and then came back with a truck and trailer full of parts and two 1970 beetle chassis's with a body that more or less has a baja conversion-ish.
The metal on chassis "A" is good but the suspensions components are old and worn with little evidence of maintenance. Chassis "B" looks like it was sitting in a salt water bath but it had a couple of new tie rods and the trailing arm bushings were new.
I decided to take everything off of B and put it on A and thats were I am right now. Slowly breaking stuff and adding to my list of parts to buy.
My plan is to build a baja bug this summer and then next summer set t up as a 5/1600 sportsman (meaning NOT pro).
I'm still figuring out what parts I have and what I don't.
