Hey all,

As most of you know, I've been working on a 76 baja bug for a while now and I got to take it out today for the first time in a long time. :headbang: I had to do some problem solving first though. Turns out, when you have a car that sits almost all winter, the fuel goes bad :annoyed:. This caused the carbs to clog and the spark plugs to get all fouled up. So after some carb cleaner, socks over the carbs, and new plugs it's running pretty well. The Hurst shifter also worked perfectly and felt great. anyway, I paused for a moment to take a few picks. enjoy:

Sure does look nice. Almost makes me miss my '64 and '69 Bajas and '69 AutoStick bug. Almost.
