Hi guys, I've been building a new floorpan for my baja for a while now and have decided to chuck it up on here for you all to have a look. It started off as a pretty much stock 63 baja and it now evolving into something that i hope will be more capable off road and safer on road. It now consists of: K&L front end with brand new disk brake conversion, Custom vee dub coil over shocks with adapters welded in place all new steering components,15" front wheels with 215/75 yokohama geolander tyres. IRS converted rear with custom vee dub heavy duty pivot boxes, All new bushes and bearings, Drum brakes, 1600 kombi box turning my ever reliable 31x10.5 desert deulers. 2" Body lift constructed by us after realising the 3" body lift that i was using was too big.... Pushing it along will be my 1916cc with twin kads. It will also be getting a complete re-wire so everything works properly! All work has been carried out by myself, dave(davobuggy1641) occasionally matt(bajamat) he drops in every now and then and makes fun of us and daves dad john richardson who happens to own the shed we are doing all of this in. I'll put a bit of a timeline of pictures up but i didn't think to start taking photos until recently so there is alot i have missed. It starts...

Kennedy stage 1 clutch kit... No more slipping for me! yeah baby.... I know they sent me an early pressure plate even though i asked for a late one but you can take the ring out of the centre and convert them. No biggy really.
