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.

and...... I'm back... just short of a year since my last post in this thread. The garage door is operational and today I installed a new Bosch 2 port pump in place of the dead 3 port. The car now fires right up on a flick of the key. When I ordered the fuel pump I also ordered an FJ67 injector to replace the one I had that was leaking. Now that the car is running my leaky injectors have multiplied and now there are two. I plan on taking care of the injectors in the next week or two and then I'll hopefully be able to finally give the car a test run without too much fear of it burning to the ground.
