Hi all

I've been a lurker for a few weeks on this site -- learned alot!
thought i might introduce myself with a few pics of my "new" '75 2.0. it's not as trick as a lot of your rides, but it cleans up better than i do and it runs like a little champ.

i'm absolutely in love

here we go:

and more, sorry they're so big

Do you attend the Sat. breakfasts ?? Car looks familiar...just cant place the face.

WELCOME.

the pic's make it seem more orange than it is (it's really quite red).

i'm sure i'll have lots of questions to pose for your collective wisdom to fill.... cheers,

nathan

hi brad

no, i've never attended, might start though. i just bought the car a month ago from a guy in mountainview named matthew (matt). ring a bell?

Ahh yes.. Matt. I knew the car looked familiar. I didnt know Matt sold his car.

Nice looking car!

Your front left headlight is drooping. Easy adjustment - but I can't remember how. I think it is adjusted with the pivot mounts. When you open the front trunk, and look to the inside of the headlight buckets, you will see a triangle shaped piece of metal with 3 bolts fastening it. There is an identical (actually, not sure it's identical) triange piece on the opposite side of the headlight bucket accessible inside of the fender (access through the wheel well). Loosen the bolts, to adjust the position of the headlight. You may have to re-aim your headlights after doing this.

Like I said, I'm not 100% sure, because it has been many years since I have done this adjustment.

Good Luck

Hey.. nice looking car! Welcome to the BBS!

Demick, you're right on target with that advice. Also, you can pull the turn signal bucket to adjust the ones in the fenderwell. (If you have small hands like I do.)

the next round of pictures shall have this problem fixed!

I nailed it.

I removed some of the "crap" that isnt happening soon.

thanks, everyone, for your kind responses. i'm afraid that maybe the car looks better in the pics than in the flesh!

i WAS going to replace my pedal board on saturday morning
, but now i'm thinking pancakes and eggs might be in order.

see you bright and early (yes, 9:14am is early for me)

nathan

Join the club. Most of our cars look better in pictures than they do in the flesh. I know mine does!

Demick

Nice car! Welcome to the BBS. Love those late style bumpers

Welcome Nathan! At least yours runs and is on the road.

Hey check out thi pic


See that screw with the locknut up against the back side of the headlight "frame"? I'm reasonably certain that it's a stop that also could be used for adjustment of the headlight lid. Yours may even be missing. Check for this screw on both sides. I've haven't looked really hard as I'm taking the car apart anyway, but given the placement of this screw, I'm pretty sure it's the stop for the lid. Let us know would ya?

yeah, i like a set of mammary glands on the front AND the rear.


Gint: thanks for the photo. i'm missing the nut on each side -- maybe that's it... i'll check tomorrow and post back here .

ive got DHS (droopy headlight syndrome) too! i tried adjusting that screw...didnt help....the PO had the car all taken apart to be painted, and it wasnt reassembled very well

Do all you people that are handicapped drive red sports cars?

Nice car

Bernie

I take it back. I forgot the donor car still had a full headlight intact. I went out and looked at it. That adjustment screw is for the headlight stop in the UP position, not down. Sorry if I led you astray.

no worries , i don't have time to look at it until tomorrow

(of course, i had time to kill on this bbs)

love my 'teener, love my handicapped parking...

I trimmed down the pictures for the bandwidth impaired.
