:excited::woot: White '74 just came back from a quick spin around the neighborhood... First time she has moved under her own power since sometime in 1999.

This car stood with the head off for the last ten years (timing belt catastrophe? Who can say... the head is gone, and the pistons were too corroded to tell any story). So:
  • The old 1300 block is now growing flowers
  • Transplanted a 1500 engine, driveshafts, a-arms, shift linkage from another project
  • Spiderrey's 32 DMTRA
  • Walter Biswanger's five-speed
  • Exhaust system from Mark Plaia
  • New fuel tank, pump, and lines
  • New clutch and master and slave
  • New hoses, calipers and rotors at all four corners, plus master cylinder and hard lines
Next comes about 83 bazillion electrical gremlins, a headlight that won't lower properly, horns don't work... And then a trip to the body shop for rust repair and paint... BUT IT LIVES.
