Well back to the madness

After been without an official 2002, sold my 74 tii in 2004. I have 2 part cars but not a driver , well I finally got a roundie 1972 atlantik(blue) has some rust but it can be fixed. The price was right, the car had several cool mods done already, 5 speed transmision, rims, bilstein shocks, front strut bar, swaybars with uretane bushings and a 32-36 carb. Also the exhaust system looks pretty nice.

Also had a lot of thing done wrong and I mean way wrong. The lady that had some stuff done, found a butcher. He stripped a bleeder from the front caliper and he but the thing back in with jb weld , but didn`t even do that right because the thing started to leak.

The worst thing on the car was the carb, it had 8 bolts stripped all the jetting was wrong one of the idle jets was crush and the main jets were so beat that you couldn`t read the numbers. He also stripped two of the stud that hold the carb on to the manifold and last but not least he bent the car in two places, from over tighting the nuts. I`m amazed the thing even ran.
