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.    Here are pictures from Eureka Springs     and Dad with his first trophy

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?

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..
