The list of things I have to do to my Baja Bug is so lengthy that I don’t quite know where to start. I recently stripped and rebuilt the engine, but do I keep trying to tune the carburettors properly, or should I do away with them and fit fuel injection?
Every time I open the bonnet and see the mass of cables that look like the world’s worst office IT cabinet (not my doing, honest), I close it again and try to forget about it, because I won’t enjoy sorting those. Then when I look at the pastel blue paint – it was pink, so this is my doing – I wonder if I really love it or would prefer a different colour. I did enjoy repainting it the first time, so maybe that will keep me amused. I’d like something period, very ’70s, but less Liquorice Allsort-blue.
