I will get more pics next week. The car is a 73 1.7 and was completely original when I bought it two years ago. I'm the third owner and it has 19K orginal miles (was stored for over 15 years by last owner). To date I have repaired/replaced the following: Brakes Tires w/ new polished fuchs Master cylinder New center console w/ gauges (original center box is available if someone needs) Rebuilt pedal cluster w/ bronze bushings The interior is perfect. No fading, cracks or tears. Chrome bumpers and trim are perfect. Once the paint is done she should really be a show stopper. I did elect to remove the antenna mast from the passenger front fender. Except for that I am trying to keep the car 100% original. Really fought the temptation to make any other mods (flares, wart removal, etc.) given the orginality of the car. I will post more pics as progress continues. I have found this site and the members to be extremely helpful over the past two years. Thanks to all... |

Definitely staying with black. The car is in primer now and I should have more pictures this week. Hopefully by then I will have figured out how to post them correctly.
