I took this photo in Penrith in 1973
at this stage the car was of course, not all that old, & the conversion probably a few years at most, it was a very nice car & running around Penrith for a number of years

The guards look almost like they have come out of a buggy mould!

Never seen that kit before...

It was THE only baja I had ever seen, & may have been a one off. from memory it had the traditional exposed motor & you can just see in the photo a bit of the large air scoop

I don't mind it but having no stock headlight locations make it a bit harder and uglier.

Larger rear tyres would make it look much better.
