heh heh heh After more than a year the Baja is done ,for now. Actually it's been done for about 3 weeks now,and I've just neglected to post anything ;-) Pics of the fresh paintjob:
pre-paint
I have put nearly 1000 miles on her since it was first put on the road. A couple of 200 mile roundtrips,
And only minor problems to report so far , broken header pipe, steering wheel knocked off-centre A engine that sat in a barn for 15 years, had 5 dead mice in it,and all I did to it was rebuild the carbs, and put new a cap
- rotor, points and condenser, new plugs and plug wires. This engine actually surprised the person I bought it from,(and yes this was the Type 3 engine that I have pictures on my page) he didn't think it would run very long due to the case studs starting to pull out, However that engine never did pop a head like I thought it would, instead it started leaking LOTS of oil (1qt every 100 miles) SO I pulled it out and put in my spare engine. A unknown rebuild( late as-41 case) 1500 or1600 single-port engine. The engine that came with the Baja donor car to begin with :-P
Well there is still more to come. So stay tuned
