hey all,

For all that haven't been following my build thread, I've been building a '76 baja bug. Just thought I'd share the first video of it running and driving! :yahoo: It's really quick but that part isn't in the video. The transmission is making a lot of noise, which I think is probably the throw-out bearing. It's a whirring noise that's loud and the tranny has no other problems. otherwise, it works perfectly (to the dismay of my neighbors. haha)

Enjoy:

Feels good when you bring a long time project to life for the first time doesn't it? Post more pics when you get time-

it'd sat all winter while I was tweaking with it. it wasn't abandoned. haha

yeah, and at the same time, there's still so much more to do with it. mainly the wiring which I'm dreading.

here's some pics:

Nice... I have had several Beatles over the years and always wanted to do a Baja. The problem was the Beatles were either too nice to chop up or too far gone to be structurally sound. Keep up the good work and the progress reports. I think you are doing a great job.
