I've seen this Baja in the flesh. And it's looking really good. Heaps of tough bits.
It's getting close to being on the road now, I can't wait to see it in action.

Yes it is going on the road and will be fully street legal and engineered.
It has the following to name a little:
- Kombi transmission
- 4 wheel disc brakes
- twin rear shocks and long travel suspension
- custom 6 pt cage
- 2L type 4, with upright kit
- 16" offroad rims and tyres
- custom bucket seats
- custom bar work
- Cheetah Baja Kit
- Hundreds of hours of work.
It is all legal and there is no issues with internal cages and shock mounts. They actually have covers and caps but these are not fitted in the photos.

Tyres are the new BFG mud pattern on my spare set of 16 x 8 and 16 x 6 custom offset rims.
Shocks are mounted onto of the trailing arms as per offroad race cars.
Front end is king and link, modified towers and bump stops, gussetted assemblies with sleeved oversized axles, machined beetle discs with soon to be holden callipers and tie rod ends. Pitman arm has beam splayed and reamed to take holden tie rods, box is early big nut with soon to have internal mods for strength.
Over all it is a pretty tough Baja and it will be good to watch it break as it tries to follow the buggies around :P

hey
the list is just way tooo long for me to remember
as this car started as being a cheap QUICK baja conversion
it just grew and now has become more money hungry than the ex missis
but it should be fun to drive soon

maybe more money hungry but at the end of the day you can push it into my damn and walk away and not have to worry about the cops .... now that is a cool setup.....
Baja should be getting its new loom in the next week or so then it will start ,stop and indicate......
Now I just need to get my new roof...... then we will see some progress.....

What year is the body ? Are they early handles on the doors or am I mistaken ?
This looks a dead ringer for a car I once owned (apart from the fact mine had a bug eye kit on it and not quite as much clearance), and sold a few years back

definitly isnt yours as i started from scratch
and yes it is an early body

VWCOOL 路
that's MAD and almost exactly how I'd do one but at the risk of being a picky --nt I reckon that exhaust will kill low-down torque and bush/low speed driveability
bigbaja 路
why is that
VWCOOL 路
Gas flow. You don't get the same 'extraction' with dual exhausts. My bro had a Baja years ago (1640cc, Stan cam, Holley Bugspray) and I remember it went like a cut cat when we replaced the dual cannons with a 4:1 system. Might be something to keep in mind
$2.63 homebrand baja 路
ahh, but it dosent sound as good... besides if you have twin exhausts, you can snap an extractor on one side and rather than sounding like a crappy lawnmower (as is case if 4:1 with the enevitable extractor snap..)... It sounds like an extreemly powerfullllll lawnmower! Another bonus is you can patch it up with a beetroot tin and diet coke cans..... (hmmm works for me, been like that 4 nearly 5 months now...bewwwwdddyy...) 馃槈 I say sacrafice the power in favour of functionality...
Anthiron 路
ha ha are u serious u used a beetroot tin to patch your extractor?

Anthiron wrote:ha ha are u serious u used a beetroot tin to patch your extractor?
WHAT................you mean you've never tried this???? You havn't lived. Pal cans are better....Coke cans arn't what they used to be.....babyfood tins are just the right size.....:jesus
Anthiron 路
um........no i havent but being only 17 i guess i have alot to learn.....ha ha ha
Craig Torrens 路
being 17 you should have plenty of BABY food tins !:P:thumb:kiss
$2.63 homebrand baja 路
....Coke cans arn't what they used to be.....
I tried the coke patch,, but it was no good, only lasted 2 drives. The beetroot is pretty good, I shall keep pal in mind!
The only problem I had with beetroot was that there was a slight difference in the two pipes..( 4 coke cans thick to be exact). Too much movement and a whizzy sort of tone. After some very scientific reseach and engineering.. I discovered this was the best way to achieve the correct rumbly pitch required:P The downside is the hoseclamps I used need the odd tigten every now and again!:thumb
sorry bit o a hijack here.....
so terry,, u gonna have it ready 4 blackduck????馃槈

Did he happen to get it tuned and jetted correctly at any time when it had the duals on it? What about after he'd replaced it with the 4-1. I have my suspisions that this has more to do with tuning then tha actual exhuast.VWCOOL wrote:Gas flow. You don't get the same 'extraction' with dual exhausts.

The 4-1 might have just happened to have been a closer match to the tuning of the carbs.
I could be wrong but I find it amazing how many people out there bitch and moan about the performance of their engine and how crap a particular brand of carb is that didn't work on there engine etc.. when they haven't even bothered to get the carbs rejetted by a professional dyno tuner.
I'll get off my soap box now....

Not sure about the email to Brad - may be worthwhile shooting him another one as sometimes mine don't get through to him - his work may have some strange censorship blocks?
Will be good to see some more pics of this Baja beast soon! And congrats of course on taking the reigns of Custom Offroad...at least all your money spent there in the past has helped to keep the business alive for you to run now!
