914World.com _ 914World Garage _ 73 finally coming together

Posted by: jzdu Apr 9 2011, 05:11 PM

I bought this car about three years ago. Found a rusted hell hole & tore the car down. Rust was repaired and paint was done. I ran out of money, so it sat for the last couple years. The 1.7 is rebuilt and I'm finally reassembling this sucker. Now if I could only remember how it goes back together!!!

Congrats! I know what it's like to run out of money on a project.

Looks great!

I just hope my 73 2L L80E will look that good when I'm done.

I know how what's it like to not remember how it goes back together. Its only been a few months on the Creamsickle and I've lost some things. I look at other parts and wonder what they are...

Nice lift you've got there. I would probably just spend hours underneath it looking up at that clean undercarriage you've got.

Congrats on your accomplishment..

Looks great! Yeah the money thing can slow you down at the worst times. I usually remember things just in time to disassemble an hours worth of work for one little part. But I am getting good at it!

It runs!!

My mechanic is finishing the final D-jet hook up. He took it for a drive today. Still working out a few bugs, but it looks like I'm close.
