Lolaz28's 67 Baja Build
Hey so I picked up a 1967 baja today Needs brakes but Runs Drives Good and could use a good tune up!!

It was converted to a balljoint frontend (Im Not quite sure why they would convert to the weaker frontend) But the car came with a parts Link pin front end so i can convert back to it
Has Swing axle rear end and is going to be converted to IRS as soon as i want to lift the body off and put it on my extra pan that is being rebuilt and will have all new floorboards and will have been converted to link pin frontend

Aluminum gas tank
Flip up fiberglass hood(needs some work mounting and stuff)
wide five lug
Very clean Body
and Pan has small patch below battery over all in good condtion
For in Wisconsin this Car is a Diamond compared to some of the stuff eaten by rust up here

Heres some pics of her

Good luck, body off is a pain, I've got mine about a foot above the pan right now, need to get it the rest of the way off.

I'll never own a car younger than me

so im going to use the 69s pan after i weld in the new floorpans i picked up because it has the IRS and then i will convert to the Link pin front end and drop the 67s body on b/c it is set up with the swing axle and that isnt the best set up offroad
I have yet to figure out how extreme i want to go Its still in the planning process
Thanks for the good luck i will need it Smile
