Here's the car for those wondering

worth every cent a sweet ride

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 .

Brad you are right about the kit had to rush out and didn't get to finish the ad off. Car will be sold with rego and RWC.

Thanks for pics Graham. Photobucket isn't playing the game for me at the moment....

So does it have blue plates for the mods?

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.

i wish i had your qld transport division up here in townsville as u need a plate for anything modded ....good luck with the sale looks great

I have the owner currently getting the car looked at as far as plates are concerned. Stay tuned.
