A few question that may help any potential buyers part with the $$$
Has all work been engineered in QLD and relevant Blue plates fitted along with signed modification papers for Baja Kit Conversion ?.
Does it come with rego and a RWC ?
Lastly are you sure on the Baja kit ? It look slike a cheetah kit with a sandpiper whale tale, as far as I am aware the sanpiper was just the whale
tale and never made a complete kit as such.
Anyway great Baja, if anyone wants to buy it and wreck it out I would be keen on th erunning gear for a buggy  worth a try .

The car is being sold road registered as it has been for more than 20 years ... and with RWC.
Advice I have is that since no structural modifications have been made to the vehicle such as shortening the floor pan, no further documentation is
required.
Airbag documentation will also be supplied with the car stating the fitment and legalities. all totally legal.
Car is currently insured with Shannons as pictured for an agreed amount.
