Baja Bug converted from the Tamiya 1/24 Beetle. Raised suspension, cutaway arches and bigger wheels, added the bashbars front and rear. Bright paintjob and decals from the spares box completed the build.

Hi Dave.

I like the way the former Beatle is transformed in to a racer.
Question to you is the postion of the rollbars. Is this origoinal, perhaps from a plan.
I'm about to make them for my DS racer, progress I will update later tonight.
I'm interested in how it's mounted to the bodywork.
Great to see such a nice build car.

Hi Robert.

Thaks for the comment on my Bug.

The rollbars are just a set that I had in the spares box, so I fitted them where I though they looked best!
None of this represents one particular car - I just Googled 'Baja Bug' and took bits from a few differnet cars.

Thanks for the answer.
Seen a short film on the net with Renault Alpine and Citroën DS racing. Got a view of the rolbars in those cars.

Regards,

Robert Jan

Looks cool Dave...
