MAZ Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Can you buy panels for it? I quite like the look of the cage - might go for a post apocalyptic style when my Baja is (finally) finished 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HairyGranola Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 I havnt seen them for sale anywhere. I quite like a bit of diy so i just thought id do em myself anyway. There is holes on the cage so screw the panels onto though which is gonna help alot. Bigjim i see your from guildford, im from portsmouth and theres naff all bashing spots down here, you got any goodens up your way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there's a few, I'm yet to find any yet where you don't get chucked off though, oxshott is great, but too sandy for my liking it kills the cars & is a total pita to clean them after a barn there, I'm off to perham tomorrow as its secluded & a great spot to give the 5th scale a clear out!

HairyGranola Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 Done this for the top. Made from scratch with nylon tube and a couple of pencils! All screwed together with 4 lights from a front bumper set. Theres also a bit of rubber screwed to the top so if it rolls over it bounces instead of snapes (Hopefully!) Also got a rear wing done aswell. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
