Yes, definitely this. Lovely in standard trim when well serviced and tuned, messing with them really doesn't gain you much unless you're going to go at it full-tilt.

I always liked this twin choke carb upgrade, I had a pair of twin 40s on a 1776 in a 62 bug and they were a twat TBH, it's balancing the banks that's a pain in my experience. The single version looks great.

Yeah I really dig that.

Just done an oil and strainer change. Seems like I've put a bit much in so I'm gonna drain a little out.

Started patching rust holes too, floor and handbrake next.

That's all the good stuff, just get all the things working right - brakes bled, handbrake adjusted, screenwash filled and pumped up, blah blah, all adds up to a loveable usable old car. Mending that unwanted ventilation helps too.

Looks like you're having a blast BTW, well jelly.
