I'm new to the forum and new to baja, but my car's been around for a while. Here's a picture of my car in its glory days:

Here it is as it stands today:

As you can see it's not quite what it used to be, but I like it.
I'm a poor college stodent who's addicted to racing, and I can only afford to own one car. Here it is. I plan to get it one some wheels with some power behind it soon. It'll probably be very funny looking since all I can afford at the moment are stock parts. Then I'll do homegrown upgrades and buy parts as I get time and money.
Right now I'm off in China studying Chinese, so I can't actually work on it for another month. But, out here in China I have a lot of free time, so I spend a lot of planning the build.
You can see my plan here. (http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pT_U7CTEGkaROdtfS3a9aQA)
That's all the progress I've made so far. I'll post pictures as soon as I start building, until then look for me in the tech areas and take a look at my spreadsheet if you want to see my progress.
