Blue Flame Baja
Well I've had this since last year, but now the build has started in ernest.
First task was replace the bent balljoint beam, while I was there I cut and turned it as well
I fitted up new discs on the front and overhauled the calipers, and I've also setting up a VN commodore rear disc setup
Then things took a turn for the worse......
I picked up a lift kit
I then decided that since I'm pulling off the body to install the lift kit I might as well add this as well....
Now if I go to all this trouble, then it would be silly not to convert it over to IRS....then this comes home..
So this is where it sits after this weekend
I've also got this to go in the rear, and then a Kombi gearbox and 2L type 4 as well......

I dont think so, I got it from Ipswich in Qld, and it was painted like that from the guy I got it from.

Well 50mm is the largest lift kit you can go in QLD and this includes 4wd....lifting the body up gives more clearance for bigger tyres.
It also stiffens up the chassis heaps
