der BajaRod
by brucerodz Fri Apr 19, 2013 12:07 am
Been here a while & figured it's about time to start a build thread on it. It's a 76 standard w/bug-eye baja kit on it. Runs & drives but, has some minor issues.
These are when I picked it up back in Oct.

Thanks, Jon.

Fuel tank vent line needs replaced. PO did lousy job of rigging it,,,,,,
Will also have to replace the flywheel seal soon.

Cleaning up the dash by getting rid of the tore up cover. Just have to fill in the excess holes.

PO used trailer lights for taillights. Those had to go so, having a set of LEDs rejected from another project, figured they could finally be put to good use.
Hole after old light removed.
Test fit the new lights.
Both in,
Make sure they light & look OK,

A little late. .but the taillights I used on my blue Baja, red LED strips but were 3 function. Turn, brake, and running lights.. never used the turns just played with them.
My new one is running the stock rears. Been chasing wires still no luck. Anyone know which colors hook together on a stock 63
