I'm making this post just for a little motivation. I bought this 74 2.0 a few years ago and have only driven it around the block once. Immediately replaced the fuel lines and then had the rear calipers rebuilt by PMB. Finally got those installed last summer and before I even bleed the brakes I noticed a leaking fuel injector. I walked out to the garage today and thought " I should probably get this thing on the road". Life, work, kids etc have put the car on the back burner but sitting in it this morning made me want to give it a little more attention. The fuel injector leak, bleeding/adjusting the rear calipers and a broken garage door are pretty much the only things keeping me from giving it a proper shakedown run. I'm hoping posting about this car will be the first step towards making it a little more of a priority to not let such a cool vehicle languish in my tiny garage.
