FASTBACK340 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 So THATS where the R & M Baja came from! Still a nice piece, and even better as an oval. Nice start! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stitchdup Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Looks like a fun project. I can remember Custom Car magazine(UK) building a similar car in the early 70's out of a 46! bug. Well i say remember but i mean i have the magazine cos i wasn't born then. I look forward to seeing this completed cos I love custom VW's. Looks like your off to a good start with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobraman Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Coming along nicely. Many years ago my BIL had one he loved until one of the rear tires passed him on the 91 freeway in Riverside California ! : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
