I saw that pic and thought of you. Ever have thoughts of building something more rufty tufty? Your Baja is tidy... maybe too tidy if you know what I mean. Like a clean rally car kinda looks wrong.
I know what you mean with the Baja. It got plenty dirty over winter, but now we have nice weather it's stayed pretty clean of recent. I still have further bits I want to do with the baja; side bars and a big ol' roof rack but I think they'll be jobs for winter. I've resisted the urge to repair the cracked rear fender and a few other bits on it that aren't perfect; maybe it needs time to mature? (edit: the rear fenders are maturing nicely with plenty of stone chips up the front of them ) As much as I'd love something as rough looking as that, I'd imagine keeping it looking rusty but not rotten would be quite the task.
