gday rod
i bought a 71 superbug for nothin a while ago and thought why not give a strut front baja a go...;
most dammage i could do is smash the whole front suspension and then send it to the wreckers! least i'd have fun doin it
i bought a baja kit to suit an early beetle and modfied it so suit my stru front..
the rear is all very similar so no problems there. it all fits fine.. but up front was the problem. i found it easier to cut the original steel guard
inot the same shape as the baja guards. this made for extra strength, and a perfect fit!
The nose cone and bonnet was a very different story. first off we cut the nose cone down the middle and lengthened it to fit the wider front and
carefully molested the original front into accepting the cone. it ended up looking alright. i have yet to fit the bonnet but plan is to cut and split
once again.. the other option is fitting the original bonnet and hacking and beating up the front.....
hope this helps
cheers
Luke

mad man! I got a 90' celica, bros got an 86', and we got a 1976 ra23 in queue for a resto at the workshop.
But if you eva come by my way and ur after those guards, just give us a holla.
I'm sure someone close to home will have a kit sitting there as a spare.

no worries rod. i got 4 guards. they need a full sand back, and have little surface cracks, so could do with another coat of polyester resin on the
glass. They need a bit of work. I'm sure $35 for the 4 will do.
But yea, only if you want, and when ur ready. but they are here.
always willing to trade for spare baja bits or vw motor bits as well :P

strut baja bugs have been built but without heaps of bracing there good as show ponies only
pic up volkswagen australia #1 magazine from the early 90s
theres a 71 superbug baja in that, that would put most offroad bajas to shame with what it can do
