 |
|
I went today to go and fetch an old buggy shell I've had for a while that has been stored on a friend's farm , and the only way I could transport it, was on the roof of the Baja! 
On my way there, I managed to get 120kmh (GPS) top speed, but on my way back the best I could do was 100km/h (GPS) because of the wind resistance.
Got some funny looks from people passing me, though...

Those are the aluminium replica Sprintstars, 5.5 inch wide in front, and the rears I had widened to 8.5 inch

Haha, funny.
Buggy body looks like a great start, do you have the hood section too?

Yes, this was a complete buggy when I bought it. This is what it looked like after I did a quick cleanup, but the chassis wasn't worth saving in the end

Been there, done that. It was solid @ 70mph, and I got a lot of strange looks too.
