engine and drivetrain Putting '74 Tii back on the road

[Jjmoonen]

Congratulations!  Looks like my 74tii's twin brother.  It looks like a Amazonas Grun car.  Not many of them out there.  Post the VIN when you get it.  I would like to see how close it is to mine.

Here you are sir

If I'm reading that correctly, it's the 248th '74 tii - USA version.  They didn't make many of those.  Only about 3,000 total of the '74s.  That one was probably built in Sept or Oct of '73.

Thanks.  Mine is a little newer...thought yours might have been built around the same time as mine.

 

Yours = 2780248

Mine  = 2782393

Nice car which probably has a good soul.

 

Here is a TO DO LIST I am following as I refurbish my 1974 Inka tii.  Feel free to use it to check out items which might/might not need addressing on your car.

 

Regards and good luck,

Its finally time. I will be going to retrieve this gem from its long term storage. I can't complain though. It was heated storage and it was cheap. 

 

Now I can finally start to dig in and see what all is going to need to be replaced. Im looking forward to the job that lies ahead.
