Here are a fwe more pictures of my Baja. These are some of the problems I will have to deal with in the near future. Most of it is rust with a little sheet metal work thrown in. If you look closely you can see the rust by the mirror. You'll also notice the rust caused by the antenna leaking ( it wasn't tight and the gasket was cracked). This rust goes all the way down the quarter panel as you'll see later. | |
| Here you can see where rust has set in. I will to find how it started and make sure it doesn't happen again. I have a feeling this is going to be a pain to fix. Any suggestions!?! Please let me know!! |
Here you can see where the water from the antenna leaked into the car and rusted out this part of the pillar. It also rusted out a fist sized hole in the wheel well right behind this. Not to mention the floorboard.This area won't be too tough since they make replacement panels for these areas. The door may be a loss, but I've got an extra pair. If I don't use them maybe one of you can. | |
| Here you can see that the moron that installed the Baja kit was, well, a moron. No metal touching the front of the hood except an "L" bracket. I'll have to figure a way to make this stronger and more secure. I'll also have to get rid of the rust, and install a new hood seal. |
AAAARRRRGH! Where is my blower. No defrost? There is way too much humidity in this area (Virginia Beach) to nit have defrost. I'll have to hang out the window to see most of the time. I've got a blower, but it will have to be a rig since I don't know exactly how it goes in. I haven't seen one for a few years. If anybody out there has a diagram or picture then please let me know!!! | |
