Well she has arrived...... our 1970 Baja .......

Boof has turned out just a sweetie.... very neat inside and pretty good outside.....

Boof has no Heart (Engine) at the moment but thinking of a couple of options up the sleeves..... she has no back seat but she has had a deck instralled to give multi storage... which rather looks kwel i might say and a great idea.....

Hope you enjoy the pics as much as i did taking them


Mrs M - February 15th, 2004 at 09:28 PM

Mrs M - February 16th, 2004 at 07:28 AM

give it a strong heart 1776 twin webers
or give it a lions heart WRX TWIN TURBO with the radiator mounted behind the spotties and bash bar
that would make Boof go BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF......:P


Mrs M - February 21st, 2004 at 07:34 AM

Mrs M - February 21st, 2004 at 04:26 PM

Thanks .... for thinking of us.... but dont want to go and put a radiator in her but....... having a thought or 2 about putting something else in her instead of a VW engine...... since we have to go and get approved for the kit might as well get other things happening

Mrs M - February 25th, 2004 at 06:51 PM

Yes the colours are rather good arent they


Buggyboy - February 25th, 2004 at 09:53 PM

Gee I have to start being more impatient, it seems thing get done quicker that way....Good to hear that it is in, hope it all went smoothly. My neighbour commented on all the noise the other night (some loud female- and I suspect I know who), it was light hearted but couldnt help be glad that you didnt sound the horn of the buggy...
