| description | Well my last entry was lost, so thought id re-enter this car with updated pics. Cant be bothered going through all the mods again but lets just say its took me ages to get to this level. And now im single again i can crack on with it without moaning women! Anyway, it should be in its first coats of paint in a couple of days, something im looking forward to and also dreading...i just hope the paint goes on ok and doesnt decide to react like it sometimes does 
Made some rear shock mounts from ally plate,so 2 front shocks can mount at each side, giving it a more racey long-travel look. Ally guard made for the rear cage, and all chassis powder coated satin black. Wheels are Rough Rider items with hop-up ally wheel trims.

OK Joe, I know it is finished so lets see the updated photos!
Ant paint on it? =) Cheers! Badboy
I can't believe I missed this before - AWESOME!!
I think we are gonna need a class 5 competition on here soon. It could be held at the new 'Volksrod School of Scorchers'.....
I'm amazed at your creativity mate.The rest of us have to play catch up!!! And yes I got one on the go too, and yes it's your fault again!!! How do you keep coming up with these ideas? Love the dood number too. I nearly used the same number on my latest shell!
Bloody Ell Lads, who hasn't got a face-lift scorcher on the go?! Joe you inspirational sod! Here is a link to mine : [Click here] ... Joe, RED AND WHITE LAD!
Awsome stuff - I'm so impressed I've got one on the go now! - it won't be a direct copy of yours but it will be in a Class 5 racer!
Last pic looks well cool fella, 'paintjob' is the mutts marbles
Im not really bothered about total authenticity, the number might just be a favorite position of mine...who knows?!
Donīt want to point with my finger but if you want it to be correct, then itīshould be numbered 500-579 (class 5-1600) Cheers Looks cal-look style
I think the paint scheem looks great! Kind of new style on a bug more to dragracing prostock bugs!!! DO IT!!! =)
Im tempted to go back to the simple red and white scheme like on my first desert racer. your right i could strip it again, but ive spent enough time getting it this far!
Somehow the primer looks right to me? Awesome bug man.
There are a lot of things you could tell me.
well,i could tell ya to 80110CKs, but im not that keen either. prob look better when painted on, anyone got any ideas?
I don't really care for the scheme that much mate. But, I don't have to look at it. I know, I know, no Rothmans, but it doesn't seem right for some reason. How's that for constructive criticism?
Its sat here in white paint now matey, still got to decide on a colour scheme yet. check the last pic...what dya think?
Any news on the project?
Superb mods!
You have raised the bar once again Joe, just when I thought I was 'Volksrod cool' with my cut down beetle body, you bust this out. As a 'car designer' I appreciate all the surfacing work you did on the body, it's seamless and you must have spent a good amount of hours on it. Don't wreck this one and can't wait to see it running in the next Sand Scorchin' vid!
Absolutely smashing VR! Always been a fan of your Bugs, I would suggest leaving the shell primered, for a real Rat Rod look!
Looks fantastic just had to go through loads of pages to find this been on holiday for 7 days its come along well from when you started .
Looking awesome!!! I guess you donīt get stuck by what paintjob youīll do but if you need check: [Click here] and click on Bajabugs... Cheers Badboy [Click here]
I know the feeling!!
They would look good mate but i cant be arsed taking the shocks off n sanding them again, n then waiting for em to dry, n re assemble em!
Very, very nice work matey! I can apprecaite from my own mods just how many hours you've put into this. May I courteously suggest yellow dampers with 'Bilstein' decals on them for to match the decals on the arch inners?
Jesus, joe, that looks fookin amazing !! the mods on the body must have took ages but well worth it. come on in thi shed and get some paint on it
I just can't keep from coming back to this! I'm just amazed!
Sweet!
Nice one matey! ..room for a blower under the hood now eh?
Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe...Where do I begin??? When you showed me the pics in the beginning of the process I knew you were going to make something special, but to see the body in it's finished state before paint, you've made my jaw hit the floor. Amazing work...TOPS!
Unbelieveable. Everywhere I look there is some cool mod!! Top notch as usual!!!
Wow Joe, that's looks astonishing! Great work!
A DEFINATE FAVOURITE! This is a stunning looking car matey! Love the Half Arches, and that rear section is awesome, look forwards to a Moosey Vid
That is just georg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to see it finished.
That is tops joe, when i saw this in the flesh I could see masses of work had gone into it. I'm sure the painting i'll go ok - you've got the weather for it
Thanks Twinset, but there will be no articulation shots to fulfill your suspension and link fetish
Gorgeous work fella
lol i wish mate, hopefully be a custom exhaust going on it soon tho.
Is there a scale Essex v6 going in it?
This is simply astonishing. Great work! As always on a very high level.
Heck , even sitting in just primer that looks great . Kind of the independent entry look for a desert rally . Definately a great job with it so far ....
I am just GAGGING to see this finished lad! Like I said to ya last week.. OY!!! No, I mean it just looks sooo right. The black chassis is nice & subtle with those gorgeous orange shocks on the rear. The body ya can see heeps of work, & looks one of thee most realist baja's I've seen to date in Tamiya form. Amazing work fella! Just don't f### up that paint
Thats just class mate !!! I love the inner arch type thingys and the body styling
Very nice. This will definitely be one of the best Scorchers on TC, without a doubt. Arch liners and home-made twin shock conversion very smart. Can't wait to see the finished article.
Cor !! ,love that rsend - looks like the original Baja type fibreglass shape .The stinger looks a bit boxy though ,or is that the weeks groceries in there ? .Top job mate ,clean well before spraying and you should be reaction free
