Motorbreath53's Baja... is still ALIVE

Offroad VW based vehicles have problems/insights all their own. Not to mention the knowledge gained in VW durability.

NICE, great to see it running....... Unlike the boat. :P
Probably need to adjust the calipers or just run them thru a couple of heat cycles to quiet them down. But WD-40 also works on squeaks. :| :|

Good eyes. Looking forward to pics here, too.

Lots of changes round here guys. Its been almost a year since I became the only source of income for the family. I let work and side jobs control me cause of fear of running out of money. We were able to pay off all our debt which wasnt much to begin with anyway to zero and I paid off my suburban and honda accord. About a month ago I became a foreman with a truck and a fatty raise so things are looking good. Havent worked on the car because im remodeling the 2 bathrooms and kitchen. And ive reorganized the garage so that I can get back at it. I have been looking at chassis on RDC but I cant pull the trigger cause I still think that rolling to the store in an A-armed baja with a honda motor will look pretty cool. Ive learned to be more patient. Mainly cause im tired of all this work. Watching these builds is always good. Keep them going guys. Update pics on mine hopefully soon we shall see
I just wanna drive it that's it.
