Should be a lot of fun, really looking forward to having something with a bit of soul again.

Oooh very nice! I've always liked these. It looks like a very tidy unit indeed. How about a photo under the hood please :)

They are a groovy looking car. Its got a bit of Bog, so it's no concours car, mainly to level out some bumps and rust repairs. I have all the photo's of the body at various stages before it was painted. 78 photos to be exact  :o Interior needs doing, and it's been sitting for 5 years. Floor needs a bit of repair but luckily on passenger side away from all the fuel/brake lines. Needs new rubber in doors etc. Bit of work to be done. Curious to see what head is on it, hopefully a big valve head from the 72 to 74 model, these were popular for obvious reasons.

Hmmmmm motor shot, here we are.

Good to see it had all the right  bits and not stuffed about.
The floors will be easy enough to do especially if your not after concourse.
I see the last owner had trouble counting to 4 ;D

I was thinking the same thing. A sure fire sign someone has been tinkering that shouldn't have been.
