I think personally that air-con in a baja is really missing the spirit of the whole rugged outdoorsy experience.
Just my 2c worth
Should keep the beers cool anyhow ...

Where did you get the round tank on the parcel shelf. The stuff on the rear parcel shelf looks like the internals to a heat exchanger for a water to
Air intercooler.

It's moving straight, low to the ground,

All came with engine. Dry sump tank and HUGE oil cooler. Tank is from UMP in the states. Metal spinners or race fab shop's here could make one for
you.

The last baja I built for myself ran in the then Sydney to Darwin Wynns Safari for six or seven years I believe. Campaigned by the guy I sold it to.
Pretty sure it won 2wd class at least once.
Be nice to do it again.... only me this time..
Here's an old pic

Been too long so a quick pic to show I am slowly progressing on the baja.
Still at mockup stage for trans mounts and engine fitment. At this stage it looked like a 3" lift kit was the only way the type four was going to fit
without modifying air filters, but not to be

After the Jamboree at Willowbank last weekend, and Warwick coming up quickly, I realised that the baja had way too many things to do to get anywhere
near having a drive, soooo........
return of the Hillbilly Racer.
After seeing the way the type IV was fitting into the baja, a little trimming to the rear end and surely it'll slide right in
So yesterday the rear was easily trimmed (it already had the large carb access holes cut), and the engine located to check for fit.
Today started mounting dry sump tank and breathers.

Andrew, may explain why I get on with dogs hey........A good cat and dog fight is never to be missed
Dont think I'll worry about the paint tho, may end up needing to polish it...... hey JW???
Marcus I think even the offroad exhaust should sound pretty tough.....we'll see.

Go Matty go!! Type 4 power will certainly be interesting to see the difference over the Type 1 from last year. Gearbox may graon a little more under
the strain but hell you only live once!!
Giving my 2L a lil bit of TLC with some dyno time before Warwick to get the carbs set etc etc then take some weight out of it!!

Good to see and hear Matt! That wing will look great in the street parade.... haha
Seeing the hillbilly racer rock up last year in the street parade (stinger on, deck lid off, gassies on the front and slammed) really set the stage
for for me... the police did not even blink! Love it

Crikey Tom , you mean there were cops out there????
Actually on the way into Warwick, as we were cruising in with the Hillbilly Racer on the trailer, a police car was heading the other way back into
town, and the cops gave us a big wave like they were really glad to see us.....so I thought they would be happy to see the bug cruising into town in
the convoy. 
The scary part was heading back to the track without the cover of a convoy but the stinger still barking
