There is a cool shortened one on a french web site.
I will have to link you to it tonight.
Go for it.
What base kit will you use?
I found a site with baja busses on it too.

i will be using this kit.... is there any certain parts you would suggest on this build?

[kod38]

That is already baja. Maybe add a cage and roof rack with spare tire.
Lift the front a touch and build more modern tubing bumpers with a couple off road lights...
I can see it now.

Get going before I bust this kit out.LOL!

you mean like this?

phot credit to chuck cady?

or how about...



this last one would be easy to build with the calif roller multi piece body set up.

good luck!

Other than lifting it and adding tube bumpers like Doug said, the only thing I can suggest is more appropriate baja wheels & tires

aww jeez, i cant hang with the six peice body... this kit is up for sale!!!! and someone else can make it a baja bus, i got something else i wanna bajafie.... and its even more differnet than this is!!!!

i have gone through liek ten differant ideas for this kit, and since it has like 6 peices for the body it scares me, look for this is either the for sale section, or the auction section....
