my dream is to one day drive the autobahn or Nurburgring in my 71 - unless I win the loto, I'll have to settle with a rental car...Great car- looks clean!

Looks nice, nothing a little cleaning, repainting, and rust repair couldn't fix. Or just drive the wheels off like it is.

Thanks everybody ;)

First drive today and lots of problems. Electricity is nos working well as the carburetor. In fact, I'll have to change the wiring harness and the carb (too small, 670cfm). Then, I think she'll drive vell ;)

See you ;)

Thanks. ;)

For the moment, there's no fun with this car. A lot of problems must be solved. I started to change the entire wiring harness. You can find the photos and comments (in french, sorry) at this url :

Have you considered removing your dash as an assembly?4 bolts up top and two on the side and you can get to all the stuff behind the dash to make wiring easier.
