73 1.7 project. I have had the car since Dec. of 2013. Was going to part it but decided it should be saved. Ran and drove when I got it. Not running now. It had 48 Dels on the motor and was running very rich. I took them off and bought some Empi HPMX 40s for it.
The motor has 2.0 heads. Don't know what the size of the pistons are. The trans shifted very well. I have not driven it since and never mounted the Empis on the manifolds. Car has been on jack stands since and I've done a lot of clean up and other work on the car. the gas tank was removed and cleaned, new hoses under the tank, original plastic lines thru the tunnel. It has a new 19mm master cylinder and new spec rotors all the way around. the drivers side front caliper started leaking. It will probably need new calipers or rebuilt all the way around. The E- brake works fine.
Rust wise it's not too bad. Drivers side long has rust at the jack point, none on the inside.
Pass side has rust at the jack point and a little more. One small hole inside just below the seat belt mount. ( patched by me ) A new battery tray was installed at some time in the past and part of the engine shelf on that side. I have photos. I don't weld so that is why I haven't fixed it. There was swiss cheese under the drivers seat that I fiberglassed. Probably should be fixed right. Some swiss cheese at the back of the rear trunk, That I patched also. Also could need a new panel. From the front bumper back to the B pillar the car is very straight. The drivers side Quarter panel was hit. Fixed by PO not very well. Car was originally Sunflower yellow. Three paint jobs on top of that. Silver,red, and the current Charcoal. I installed a new rear window ( factory ) because PO had a flower sand blasted in the center of the original.
Anyway I think it can be saved, but I will be 77 next month and after 40 years of parting and racing these things I just don't Have the energy to work on them anymore.

Wow... that seems like a really good opportunity for someone to own a decent car that needs some work.
