Baja Gets A Lift
(1/1)
Geoff:
The 80's Baja got a 2.5\" lift this weekend thanks to some thing spindles.
Here is a before shot with stock ball joint spindles.
Here is a shot of the raised spindle in place with new \"Thing\" balljoints. when installing these you must replace the front brake hose with the longer bus hose as well as a super beetle speedo cable.
Now a shot of the baja with the spindles instaled.
The 2.5 lift gives a lot more room for travel and ground clearance
Instal took about 3 hours total including changing the drivers tie rod and bleeding the brakes.
Chris:
I've seen this car on the samba for $3500USD obo...and have an Uncle interested :wub: in seeing what it would take to get into Wa. Might you have an idea of what paperwork must be filed and/or any inspections by the local DMV or perhaps state patrol officers.
Do the pan and body #'s match? Has it got all four (4) identifying/vin points?
Geoff:
Yes the Baja has all matching #'s and would need a inspection once into WA state. If you want more info please send me a PM.
Thanks.
Geoff.
Stephan Schmidt:

Chris:
Going another route...too much paperwork for our taste. Nice baja though, planning to do one very similar, already got a bunch of parts picked out and the car.
BTW, you wouldn't be interested in selling or trading those 15x7\" wheels would you?
