Hello, I recently took possession of this beautiful Jade Green 1974 3.0 CS with a 5 speed manual Jetrag conversion. I look forward to learning more about these iconic cars on this site. Like any classic car there are a few leaks to sort out....gear oil drip despite recent installation of new gear box and what I believe to be steering fluid close to the oil filter canister. Additionally upon hard acceleration the car seems to stutter....hopefully just a carb adjustment!
Here are a few pics as well.

Welcome. Looks like someone installed front bumper guards upside down meaning left to right. They are 71/72 style and not 73 with rounded corners.
