bailing out on this project. I purchased another car so this one has to go. I've done a decent amount of work on this since I picked it up. There is still a good amount to go. Bug is a 72. Has a poor running dual port. Shifts and kind of stops. No, you can't drive it home. Fiberglass kit with narrow eye front end. Have a few extra parts including front and rear tubular bumpers. Not a lot of rust on this one.
As I towed it home.......
Ditched the uni-lug Cragers/rotten tires and put these on with good used tires. Also hosed it down with some primer so it was less of an eyesore.......
How it looks now.......
What I've done
Primer and painted some stuff
Wiring and lighting
Corrected firing order
Adjusted valves
Cleaned carb. Still having issues with it
Fixed cooling fan
New used wheels/tires
Installed interior
Cut out rusty roll bar
Bought a battery
Needs.......
Fuel system work. Front pass brake not working. Clutch was slipping when I took it around the block. I adjusted it but haven't driven it since. Prob needs a new clutch though. One ball joint is a mess. Hood attached(Have some hinges and brackets to fit to fiberglass hood) Patches in cargo area(where roll bar went through body) And a whole bunch of other little jobs.
I'd also consider parting this out. Thanks for looking
