Yup white applied first. Orange didn't stick as well as most groups did however. Why a lot of Bajas "scratch white". I love this BajA too. Sometimes something is lost when they are in this condition and get full resto. Roaches on the other hand....need the love and gain.

X2!! I'm guessing you're the first Bronco ever on Power Tour - especially a Long Hauler!

Fuel pump started "weeping". Time for new one. Hopefully all this old stuff will break before Power Tour in June. :)

Washed with soapy water first then wet sand with 2000 grit on the paint. Then polish with 3M polish.

Battery tray wash, then bead blast to bare metal. Rust inhibitor sprayed on, then paint.

Tour starts on June 10
We've been getting the Baja ready to go. Putting together a bunch of tools and various spare parts.
