Again, very nice to see that you are serious in doing it right.

Please do all the fuel lines (including tunnel) as the '74 lines are very brittle and very crappy at this age. Hate to see it all go up in flames.
Thanks for the kind words. All the fuel lines including tunnel have been replaced.

Mine arrived on a trailer too, not running, windows blown out, stock 1975 suspension was a wreck, brakes were seized.......Now she runs and drives pretty well.....and I have REALLY loved getting her going and enjoying the whole process. Enjoy the ride.

My advice, do the minimum you need to get her driving first. They get to the rest. Being able to drive these cars cures any frustration you might have with "not having them done yet."

The community here as been fab to me when I had issues/questions. Searching these forums too has been an absolute goldmine of information!

A belated welcome to the P-Car club, welcome to the air-cooled club, welcome to Pelican, and welcome to the mid-year club (74-77).

Loving you're progress.

Day 1


Now, running, driving, and headed to DRT soon!


Amin......if you need to do the A/C, I have done both a rework of the original (on my '89, still very similar to your car) and the Classic Retrofit electric A/C (VERY trick and great....but not that original. Ping me if you have questions, when the time comes.
Love seeing your pics. Hopefully this one will be street worthy soon. I promised my wife we'd go on a weekend road trip to the Hill Country or to West Texas once complete.
