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)

Check your parking brake cables. See if they are freely moving on both sides. They actuate levers on the calipers. The pistons may be stuck. You can tackle the calipers next or Eric at PMB performance is your next move.

I'm in the same boat with the parking brake. I knew it had stuck so didn't use it until a couple days ago and I thought I'd try it again - what's that Einstein quote about doing the same thing expecting different results... insanity? So it's stuck again. It's the same wheel for me and if I take off the wheel and tap the caliper and hand brake lever it unsticks. I've already talked to PMB and plan to send all my calipers to them - hoping to be able to wait until Fall but we'll see. Great looking car - love that dual exhaust!
