Just saw the car today and the primer is on (forgot the camera). I will get more pics next week.

The car is a 73 1.7 and was completely original when I bought it two years ago. I'm the third owner and it has 19K orginal miles (was stored for over 15 years by last owner).

To date I have repaired/replaced the following:

Brakes
Tires w/ new polished fuchs
Master cylinder
New center console w/ gauges (original center box is available if someone needs)
Rebuilt pedal cluster w/ bronze bushings

The interior is perfect. No fading, cracks or tears. Chrome bumpers and trim are perfect. Once the paint is done she should really be a show stopper.

I did elect to remove the antenna mast from the passenger front fender. Except for that I am trying to keep the car 100% original. Really fought the temptation to make any other mods (flares, wart removal, etc.) given the orginality of the car.

I will post more pics as progress continues. I have found this site and the members to be extremely helpful over the past two years. Thanks to all...

Definitely staying with black. The car is in primer now and I should have more pictures this week. Hopefully by then I will have figured out how to post them correctly.
