I would say the same if it were not for the fact that it had 33's on it when I got it and the fenders had been on there since '79 hell the front had 31's on it and there was no damage to the front either. I doubt my dad will ever take it off road.

Well I delivered the Baja to Dad in Oklahoma this past weekend. We made a pit stop in Eureka Springs Arkansas for their annul VW event. Dad got him a trophy so that was pretty cool. He is really going to enjoy making it his.

Here is the temporary interior I threw in until Dad makes his own. I used some old factory mats out of my Baja and some material I bought at Hobby Lobby. Turned out decent.

I tagged the front emblem area. :D

Here are pictures from Eureka Springs

Just got these photos from Dad, he has already started making some changes

He added a breather pipe, as well as some Kadron filters to the carbs, and a new tri-mil exhaust

Good call on the Tri-Mil, it should run much better than with that "Dual Megaphone" setup.

That's a sharp looking Baja you built for your dad. Can I adopt you long enough for you to build one for me? :lol:

I agree on the exhaust - it will tie the motor in much better..
dual carbs and dual exhaust.. is basically 2 motors that just so happen to share a crank..

great looking car and done at a record pace.. :thumbs: :beer:
