after 16 years of storage its back up and running.

had this for 31 years.
picked it up in chicago when i lived there back in late 80s/early 90s.
off the first owner.
brought it back to aus with me.

its largely original. 40k miles.
where its not original is i had to convert it to rhd. did that back in 92-93.
thats another story if anyone is interested.
rest of it is showroom stock and untouched.
just finished doing a clay bar deep clean on the phoenix red.
got to the end of today and i was back in 1974.

got inspired by 50th hoo hah. been at it since october last year.
co-vid lockdown got me some extra "vacation" time on the project.

keep on 914-ing all of you.

don't know if this image will work but giving it a try.

@ phillsteck, might see you around, but i haven't been to sydney for 20 years and probably won't get there ever again. i do like sydney kind of. glad you had it easy on the conversion. i found it a little difficult and it was interesting confronting it again.
replacing the fuel lines got us fair and square in conflict with the handbrake guide tubes which were perfectly mirrored 30 years ago, right in the way of what i had to bend up to get to the fuel pump. which had to be replaced and caused yet another piping headache.
(might try and get the original rebuilt but i think its eternally kaput.
