    the rest of the sign is under the engine right now. so yeah but it also helps to have one up front

        I'm liking the baja build - Always good to have some vw rebuilders nearby with those air cooled engines.

        Your new front-end pic

        made me think of a frog:

              this thing is bad ass, and the skid plate is quite my style, but i really wish you kept those stripes, those were so 80s and incredible

                  That road sign won't protect anything from shit. Get a real skid plate in there.

                    It's obviously screwed straight into that big tubular cage deal on the front. It isn't even meant to protect anything, it's to skid over stuff. With such a narrow span of surface area to effectively just get it to ski over obstacles, I don't think he has anything to worry about.

                        I don't see a street sign just skidding over a rock, regardless of what it's bolted on to, it will bend and probably be punctured easily.

                        If you're going to get a skid plate, get something that will actually fulfill the purpose. My $.02

                          Haha that thing is thicker than my pan. If something that is sticking 14 inches out if the ground can cut through that skid plate then its gonna cut through the bottom of my car.

                            Sorry about no updating this build. School is crazy and i have like no time. Since i've done such a bad job recently, I've decided to sell the rights to this thread. thats right you can purchase this thread, you would get all posting editing and trash talking rights. The car is also included as a bonus.

                            AKA this is now for sale. haha
