roadworthy check
No roadworthy as yet but feeling positive failed on relatively minor things, Siezed hand brake cable, cracked tail light lens which may be the hardest part to find as 2 types were used in 74, Cibie and hella and theyre not interchangeable despite looking identical.
I've repaired it for now with epoxy glue--thankfully the broken plastic was inside the light it looks fine for now but locating a good set of cibie lenses is now part of my to-do list.
I'll also get to examine my suspension more closely as well the upper right rear facing wishbone bush was rejected, and the right hand drag link bush.
I'm treating this apparent failure as a success as the testers were all full of admiration for the general rust free nature of the car and its general condition.
Needed suspension parts have been found but they werent cheap 2 upper bushes cost only $100.00 less than i paid for the car----- I paid $450.00 for the car itself
