Hey Brandon,

Welcome.

Do you have pics of your Baja ?
Must be fun to boot around the desert.....

My advise would be to build the car up slowly, as budget permits. Try to keep it drivable so that it doesn't end up a garage project. Driving the car is the best motivation.

Oh yeah, and plan, measure, replan and remeasure. You don't want to know how much time and money I lost by rushing things and not taking the time to
think things through.

Have fun !

Rob.

To tell ya the truth I wouldn't really know. I haven't had it road worthy in almost 3 years . It should be complete by June but even then I'm not so sure about the desert running thing. It's hard to bring myself to thrash something I spent so much time and money on. We'll see how that all plays out when I get it back on the street. And I'll try to get some pics in the very near future.

Hey Brandon, welcome aboard! I too am 18 and named Brandon. I am about 1 month out of finishing my first project. A 65 Germanlook Beetle, complete with 1.8 liter type 4, 944 brakes and Rancho performance transaxle. It took me 4 years to do it, and about 7k. BUT I did EVERYTHING i could to that car by myself. I also spent alot of time on projects of the car that coul dhave well been skipped and saved myself some money. If you wanna IM shoot me an email at w8t_4_me@hotmail.com.
