that looks great ,there is a lot of baja's around that arent really high and they still get around at stockton ,it may be a bit different if going over rocks and stuff though

i saw this one on ebay for 4000. relly nice looking. i like the low roof. i got a sedan and was thinking of chopping the roof 2-3 inches down. like hotrods


damoocow - March 25th, 2007 at 08:27 PM

yeah thanks wrapped withed it eh will try and be at stocko as i am only 5 mins away


VWCOOL - March 25th, 2007 at 08:39 PM

You'll be fine at stocko I reckon, just dump the rears to 15psi


Baja Wes - March 26th, 2007 at 04:46 PM

Just a word of warning. I notice it has all the fibreglass bits blended into the body.

I am fairly confident you'll get cracking in those locations if driven offroad (over dunes or corrugated dirt roads).

If you don't mind some cracks, then go for it :)


damoocow - March 26th, 2007 at 06:13 PM

yeah it does already have a few cracks. excuse my lack of knowledge but werent these things built for the beach etc


Baja Wes - March 26th, 2007 at 07:25 PM

Yes but they aren't normally built with the fibreglass guards and steel body bogged together like that.

Normally it's a bolted connection with rubber strips between the body and fibreglass bits.
