hi and welcome mate i know of a few bugs about with out rego were about in tas are you and are you after a baja or bug project ???

A 70 bug floorpan is no different to a 71-75 standard bug floorpan except it'll have disc brakes if its a 1500 but none of them are IRS except the 76

if you want IRS with a ball joint front you need a 76 or find a 68-70 semi auto which arent real common and convert to manual

ok i know of a baja ball joint front ect but not irs rear but b an ok start think its a 69 not shore on rust tho had a small bit in rear but is in a shed full of stuff hard to see its been cut and kit fited you would get it at a good price pm me if interested " you never lived at hillwood did you when you had the white baja ???????? b good to get a few trips going with baja"s and buggys not alot of us around in tas
