I posted about buying this car last fall. the thread is here
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...ssible+purchase It's a 1974 2.0 that I decided to let sit in my mother's garage over the winter until I could figure out if i was going to go pick it up or have it it shipped. It turned out to just be less of a hassle to have it shipped. I listed it on Uship, got a bid i was happy with, and the car should be delivered this Friday or Saturday. I'm really excited to get this thing here and give it a once over. I've never seen the car in person so hopefully there are no nasty surprises waiting for me. updates will follow later this week Attached image(s)

Well, I don't have it yet. should be here Friday or Saturday. I do know the parking brake is stuck after sitting over the winter. Besides taking care of that, the first order of business will be removing that front air dam. I'm not a fan.
