You can hear them whimpering in the wind....

Rolling on the ground, curled in the ball, thump in the mouth....
Poor purists 😂

Why not a split window ? 👍

You might have to import one for that. Or a nice Barndoor Baja Bus with a V8 shoved in the back blazing up the dunes! Smiley

i could always weld the centre section from a split bus into the oval window to turn it into a split but the lower grille is still different, and the ragtop on a split is bigger so the purists wont believe it🙂

You really gotta get a watercooled engine in there if you want to upset the purists, and maybe paint halloween pumpkins on it too 😀

Cheers Steve. I was wondering as I have two different sizes available, the one Nils has and a smaller [stock] size that sounds similiar to yours. I was interested to see how yours fits the wiper panel as I have done a heap of work to get the ones I make a quality fit. Maybe a pic if you get a round toit [yeah I know they're rare😂].

Can we stress the LLLLOOOOOOONNNNGGG term on this thread, i think you started with this thing before i bought my baja. Thats almost 5years and 2 rebuilds ago! 🙄

Think of how the purists will gag when you roll into a show about the year 2020, ahHHAhHAHAhHAHAhAH!
but seriously, its going to be cool

Cool Steve, thanks for the pics. That one piece is similiar to the 'stock' width style I supply. Thanks also for the ebay lead, but looked too crappy for the price.
Dont worry about Nils giving you heaps, his baja is going to be so full of bar work he'll be rebuilding the 1600 before long as it'll be soooo slow. 😂
