Picked this a up few days ago in rather "neglected" condition.  It needs an alternator and probably an ECU, but it has all sorts of aftermarket stuff on it that will make it an interesting project.

 

What it looked like when I got it:

Replaced the igniton module today and it fired up.  Fixed a few other small things but it still needs a proper tuning.

 

4/11/09 update:

Fixed the oil leak caused by missing oil pan bolts.  Started stripping the interior and found some rust in the floorboards,  I'll cut out the affected areas and weld in replacement pieces.

5/3/09 update:

Recently replaced the alternator.  I've been discovering and fixing various annoying wiring problems, nothing major.  Car handles well with the IPD suspension upgrades and makes a suprisingly decent amount of power.  Need to trace the source of the exhaust leak that comes into the car.  I can't always drive with the sunroof open.

Nice car you've got there. I think I've seen it on Turbobricks! You should check out my 164 project, I only wish mine was as nice.

This looks like a real diamond in the rough. Once you got it cleaned up it looks great! I'm looking forward to watching your progress, 5 Stars

I like the cut of your jib, sir. I have a 73 of this model. Do you have advice for DJet tuning?
