The best part is my wife thinks it's cute and offered to help with the restoration.

:-O
I'll have to look into that. It would probably eliminate the plug fouling with the t-5 burn off feature?
Will there be no end to the uses for Trionic 5 ??

You could always add a 6th injector to the intake, and just figure out a way to defeat it outside of W.O.T.

You can also get plug adapters and continue to use your stock ignition system. They thread into the head and allow you to use modern spark plugs, like NGK iridium plugs. Iridium plugs virtually eliminate plug fouling.
The kind of dirty that doesn't wash off :eyebrows:

It is. 900 is in the other Bay, 9000's, Discovery and Fusion live outside

Wife won't let me keep it outside, but it's right off the patio so easy access.

I want to move the whole shop to the Barn but need to finish electrification.

That's a nice looking property. You are located some where in Central PA.??
We have a cottage in Shade Gap PA. Home base is Boyertown PA. I have a similar 1967 95 2 stroke wagon project.
Have to look you up some time.

Throwing in the towel on the 2 stroke project. Anyone interested in taking it on?

A bit more than the most recent pictures. The motor is out and I am working on removing the front suspension. I was planning to mount the chassis to a rotisserie to effect the rust repair.

I took a serious look at the rust and it requires repair to about 40% of the body. I could repair the rust but the time required I just do not have.

I have all the removed parts in ziplock bags. Spare door panels and seat covers some OE. a spare motor that is free and low mileage plus 3 totes worth of spares.

Was thinking of letting my daughter sell all the parts on Ebay, but I really need the space
