I've had the car for 5 years and have driven it ~6,000 miles so far. I recently drove 1700 miles round trip to DLG2020. I prefer a potential owner see the car in person for a full inspection prior to sale if possible.

Currently a carb conversion; runs great and I'm very satisfied, but if K-Jet is desired I have a complete K-Jet system and will negotiate options w/the sale.

I'll continue to work on the "to-do" list as time allows.

-Driver's side tail light bulb replaced yesterday..lol.

I realized the "full set of pics" doesn't have engine bay pics. I'll get some this weekend, and will continue to add to the album found at the link above.

I was asked about items I've had issues with & needed to repair, and any potential gremlins I'm aware of.

Most everything I've done has been a restoration or upgrade, but here's what I've needed to repair:

Rear Fascia crack
Directional Assembly
Binnacle crack
Tow hook damage
Plugged rocker oiler - replaced worn rocker


Mentioning:

Blower Motor didn't work a few times, been fine the last 10x I used it.
Downshifting into 2nd is sometimes flaky, so I double-clutch.

I've had a few inquires, and scheduled an inspection with a potential buyer. Following that, I'll list it on one of the FB pages, then an auction site.

Add to list of upgrades:

-Braided stainless clutch line
-Muffler Heat Shield (DPI stainless)

Added a folder with pics from the restoration work:
