Another One gone :(
This is what happens when you drive like a dickhead.
Popped a crest on a dirt road at about 75km/h when it landed things went pear-shaped and she swerved to the right up the embankment into the trees
then rolled onto her left side and ended up on it's roof. Myself and the passenger are both completely fine. Unfortunately the car needs a bit of
work.
Drove this car 1000km down to Warwick and back last week and this is how I repay it for being so reliable, I'm such an idiot.

Yeah, seatbelts work incredibly well.
Does anyone know of a torsion bar front body in the central Queensland area? If so I'm interested.

OMG....couldn't believe it........when a friend rang and said to have a look.
We met you at Warwick.......have the blue and white Baja and parked behind you!
Glad you and passenger (if you had one) are fine! Looks like you will be doing lots of work, but didn't you say you were building a buggy? Good
incentive to get it done!!

Hey Smiley....sooooo happy you are OK and live to play another day!!
Sad to see the Baja all banged up, but if you walk away, its not that big a deal, its only a car after all and cars can be rebuilt.
Guess its another parts car for the buggy eh?

Damn...that not good at all
At least you got out ok, thats the main thing.
As for the baja thing, i'm with Mr Mustard on that one...but that's only because i've never really "got" the whole baja thing. The shape of a bog
standard bug is so curvy...sexy... and elegant...a thing of beauty!!...so why anybody would think it's that bad to want to change it i will never
understand!? At least we still share the same engine i guess? lol
Good luck with the new project though.

HOLY CRAP!
Even with a roll bar the body would have been totalled no doubt. would have been pretty scary mate, i feel for ya. Find a clean body , otherwise it'll take ya three years to restore a well used, salt
water subjected, rusted, dinted and scratched baja
I'm sure your as keen as ever just to get it back on the road. I would be...
(ô_!_/ô) (ô_!_/ô)
69' baja: kombi box, thing spindles, irs, disc front, type 3 rear drums, 2 inch lift kit, 31x10 rears.
New engine in process: 94mm p&bs, 74mm C/w chomol Crank, 35.5x39 SP heads, turbo. Wierd combo, hopeful torque monsta! |
