Made a temporary body but I quite like the look. I'll take it for a test run tomorrow and decide what shocks and wheels to get. I think 1.9 wheels look good but I may get 2.2 with short course tyres. Anyone know where I can get belted 1.9 tyres?

Nice, I had a Baja Beetle about 24 years ago. Didn't have it that long, sold it and bought a Chevy Impala Low Rider.

Made a wide front shock tower using the bottom of the original front and top of the rear tower. I'll get a radiator or intercooler for in front of the shock tower.
The body panels are pretty much finished, just decals left to do
I took it for a run with the 1.9's and it was not so good, so back to the 2.2's.
Added lights front and rear. I think I'll get two big round lights for the front near the hood.
Not sure quite what to do with the rear yet, maybe a scale engine and exhausts?

No mate they were very poor, but they were cheap. I'll definitely try some quality 1.9 wheels and tyres when I get the money, I'd like to try some short course wheels and tyres too.
