Ok, here goes. I picked up this '75 last April in lower Maryland. It was advertised as a 2.0, it has a 2.0 badge on the back, and it looked pretty good from a distance (or with beer goggles).

I also got the wheelhouse and inner long pieces from RD. Looks like the wheelhouse comes with the inner piece already in. Following Bob's thread it looks like he had to weld that piece in separately:
  I need to figure out the plan of attack for replacing these pieces. Any advice for fitting these in/cutting out the old? Do I start with the inner and do I need to make exact measurements on engine mount for replacement? Any advice, input, or help appreciated. (I can make up some story about how I'm building this car for orphaned kids with horrible diseases or their widowed mother if that will help. But I think we've all had enough of that today, and anyway it's never been necessary here on the World). Thanks for the help. I'm excited to start welding stuff back in. |
