So what became of Matt's Baja?

All the while Matt and Man-John were coming over to help me weld the bodyshell they were beavering away with the previously welded floorpan back at home.
Every part was either replaced or refurbished, essentially creating a new floorpan - just waiting for the bodyshell.

We finally dragged Matt's bodyshell over to his gaff so he could paint it.
No fancy spray booths or owt like that, just good old-fashioned "spray on a fine day"- Old School!

Matt had already shot some primer on the 'shell during the week before I got there.


Here's Matt laying on a coat of John Deere green

He's doing quite a thorough job. Oh look, there's the floorpan over there - nice!

The finished job, 'shell is on its nice shiny refurbished floorpan and awaiting fitment of the freshly sprayed panels.

Pretty soon Man-John and Matt got the Baja MOT'd and road-legal, that was a while ago........

Here's the beast just the other day, sat next to Tom's car

Nice job, considering what we started with. Fo' Shizzle!
