Finally have the time to restore my 73'. Rebuilt the motor, reupholstered the seats and purchased a rebuilt transmission from German Transaxle in Bend, Oregon. This is what I've done the last two days. Everything bagged and tagged in the shop. Pulling body of pan this weekend and ordering lots of parts tomorrow. And the fun begins.
