Nice! It looks like you changed out the wheels too.
Polaris! Like mine....will be again, one day..lol. What's the back spacing on those wheels? Is it the picture or do they look like they're sitting inboard a lot. I ask, as I have a set of those that I just did a trial fit and they sit way different, filling out the fenders nicely. Good looking car, though!
Going for the “rally” look.
Replaced the head in May.
You selling that guibo? Checking W&N for a reubuild kit...
Odometers seem to be the repair du jour - going to attempt to fix mine, I'm not Mr. Mechanical so light a candle for me. Also replace the reverse light switch and chase down what I think is a bad ground in the tail light. After that, the clock...

I am no expert but I was wondering if the bumper horns are upside down?
73 bumper guards
I love the conversion, been getting up the nerve to do it on my green 74.
As far as the rubber guards mounting, are the rears upside down?
Wow, the rears do look weird to me. Looks like they were trying to reach a certain height for a regulation. If the fronts angle down you'd like the rears would do the same.
I used bumpers from a 73 parts car. Rear bumper mounted with the 73 US spec only brackets that extends the bumper a couple of inches from the body. Front mounted with brackets I had fabricated to fit the “wider” front section of the frame rail that had accepted the shock absorber for the big bumpers.
I followed Bfeng’s description of how he mounted the fronts in post #626 of this thread:
The end is near....SCOTTeVEST's Baby
So, just talked to Gary, and here's the latest summary. I will be reposting select parts of below to Parts needed, but if you have leads, please let me know where to hunt: under rider/horns for rear bumper and holes re same: i see from a text that someone suggested we omit these. Let me know...
