HUNTER.P Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 (edited) Right bit of an update - it seems that Royal Mail may have misplaced my Chop Shop Order. Its only coming up on a week tomorrow, but I have never waited that long for something. But I've been suckered by the DOTD's quite a bit But on the other hand taking advantage of the postage limits before it jumps up. So on the way I have DDM 1 - Upper Front Ball End, HD Gear set (idle, drive and diff) DDM 2 - TFE Ball/Cone Combo, 2x Front RPM Arms, GH Front Shock Tower and GH Front Shock Supports DDM 3 - Shreadstack, GBE Left Side Engine Mount DDM 4 - TFE Front Camber Shims, HPI T Sand Paddles, and 1x Rear RPM (postage went up when I added the second) Edited July 18, 2011 by HUNTER.P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HUNTER.P Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 Well I eventually received my first Baja Chop Shop Order, its not a lot to be honest. But I couldnt wait to build up what I had, so this was todays work: Bearings in: Steering Ball Joints: Steering Assembly: Chassis Pins: Radio Box: Its all coming together nicely Loved every step so far and cant wait for the next bunch of parts. Got the rear bulk onto the chassis, with the IRC pins in too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HUNTER.P Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 Your baja is coming along really nicely mate are you going for an all black theme ? I suppose it looks that way. TBH it was never intenional. But didnt want blue (troopers copyrighted it ) and never liked silver much on cars. So black was the best option. But yes it will be pretty much all black, but might get some red outer wears/red in shell to break it up a bit. Looking good man And blue bearings... i NEED them! Rear bulk will have to come off again for tranny it wont you can drop it in from the top with no top plate on What he said ^^ Do you not think I would know, the manual has been my bed time story for two weeks now Yes its easier to do it off, but I wanted to see the size of it.
