Reconditioned 2.0 75, Back on the road at last Options

Finally.
Bought her on Ebay and brought out from Colorado nearly two years ago.
Luckily the rust was minimal with perfect longs, jack points suspension etc and a few minor perforations in the hell hole and under the passenger seat. First lesson as we know is get a PPI-I was just lucky and would never buy off a load of pictures again.

Original engine had been rebuilt as a 2.3 and I blew a hole through one head so managed to get a replacement through the World and it was only 200 numbers from the original.

While I was sorting the engine I decided to get rid of the ugly dark blue it had been changed to and put it back to original Anacona blue. A long painful process, lots of paint stripper, 3M pads etc. and doing it late at night after work in bad light.

Long story short-it's back on the road as original as it can be. Last week we were worried about the weak dyno test but it seems to run pretty well and feels nicely balanced on the road although less torquey than the 2.3. As promised here are the first pictures.

It's a great feeling to bring one of these back from a barn in Colorado to a driveable , fun little rocketship. New plates will go on shortly. ZEE914

Many thanks to all the guys on 914 world for good advice and encouragement, especially Tom T and Mikey.
