Okay I haven't been this tempted in along time. Saw a 73 2.0 car listed.
Doesn't run & has some ungodly spoiler on the rear trunk. Guy was working towards getting it painted. Called him on the phone & could hardly hear him. With me finally having my car on the road again. Feeling the bug a bit more. So I decided I'd go take a look. Here is the good 63k original miles buying from second owner who also stored it inside Interior is perfect with no cracks in dash, seats, door panels or backpad SS heat exchangers Extra pistons, jugs & heads 2 sets of webers carbs (Along with original fuel injection in a box) No sign of any body damage & all panels, gaps look as they should I found one tiny bit of rust below the battery tray. Best hell hole in an original car I've gotten to buy. No rust in either trunk or under the car. The rockers still have the stock rivets. I see nothing around the jackpost or below that worries me L041 original black car Car is complete & anything aftermarket like steering wheel. Still includes the original Bad Needs paint Need to get rid of the ugly flipping wing he put on VW offset riviera's (I will be on the lookout for a nice set of Stock 4 lug fuchs) Motor needs head replaced. Dropped valve he said. Tin painted yellow (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) Windshield cracked Not a hug fan of the center rear Porsche deflector. So that will go up for sale Guy has not put it in his name. Has the signed title but no bill of sale. With it being out of state. I am waiting for him to go to the DMV tomorrow. Need to make sure I will have no problem getting it titled in my name My plan will be to pull the drivetrain & get the motor sorted. Strip parts to get it painted. I will have the outside painted. Trunks & jams are all still good. Overall I am pretty excited for this car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Attached thumbnail(s) |

Finally got a bit of time today. Got the drivetrain dropped without a problem. Hell hole had a small hole. Was fairly thin by the firewall & I pulled out the thin stuff. It's about an inch wide & 3" long. Also my jack post itself was solid but the mount had near the bottom. I cut out the outer portion & definitely some rust through. Figure I need to cut into the long a bit to take out the rusted section. Really is solid above. Really debating completely stripping this car to bare metal. Just hate to do it. The bottom of the car is in great shape. Other than the bit of hell hole. I've got just a bit in the front trunk channel the seal sits in. It will clean up though.
I really was hoping to just shoot the outside of the car & maybe the trunks. Didn't want to remove the interior at all as it is so nice. Seems like removing them sometimes i get cracks that were never there before. Door jams are all good as well. Anyway take a look at the carnage Attached thumbnail(s) Attached image(s) |
