Mine is also an early 73. Interestingly, the rear emblems on yours look exactly like mine (silver with the 1.7 looking darker). Conventional wisdom is that all 73s had black emblems though there has been some debate about this in the past (see here: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...6156&st=20). After seeing yours I'm thinking mine are original and either they came looking like that or they were black but wore/faded to look like that.

As you can tell from pics the engine and tranny were removed. Engine got decreased (very well marinated) and received all new gaskets , seals, engine mounts, etc.. Debated what to do with engine tin as there was some surface rust. I elected to just clean it as many of the factory markings were still in good condition.

Transmission was also de-greased and inspected. The transmission would not stay in 4th gear, this was the reason I was told the car was not driven much for 20+years. Inspected and then replaced most of the syncros (5th was good and reused), dog teeth and shift selectors. 1st was not good and 4th was very bad (part of the reason it would no stay in gear). Resealed and re-installed and adjusted shifter, as set up it would not go fully into 4th, probably reason 4th was damaged.. So far no leaks from engine or tranny and runs and shifts good.

I had one mess up in cleaning some of the heat exchanger ducting. The parts that were painted grey were in good shape but really layered in grease. I used to aggressive a cleaner and stripped the paint. Had to repaint grey.

My blue car (-6 conversion) is also a 73 (late) and it had black rear badges (they are now custom) and black headlight surrounds.

White car has white surrounds and silver badges (1.7 looking darker is just angle and lighting).

that engine tin stamp made me look closely at your first few posts.

last year we did some research on 74 1.8s - i noticed very early cars in the production run had the EA stamp above the engine designation number.

i noticed your car is 128th car made in 73 MY. August 72 so the EA number seems similarly to be on another very early production run car. different model year, different development order (EA number) of course since its an EB engine.

i noticed however that the car was not sold until may 73!
thats very unusual that it was made so early and sold so late?

Looks amazing, but find a dash as I expect that it will help you bring more money quickly (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Paint the wheels silver and remove the window tint.
It's a great car and you've done great work.

@targa72e

the car looks very good on BAT.
lots of photos.

can i ask a favour of you if you have time to spare?
noticed the car has full glovebox package of manual and emissions warranty booklet.
we have been tracking some data on those emissions warranties either side of nov 73 in the 74 model year and were trying to get info from 73 and 75 owners.

would it be too much trouble to ask you to post an image of the page inside that emissions booklet that shows the diagram layout of the evaporative emissions system.
and a shot of the back page, its got some numbers and letters etc down the bottom usually of the back page.

good luck with the sale.
it should go well.

Terrific results after all that work. You should get an endorsement deal with Zep! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Agreed with removing the tint and painting the wheels. Such a great looking car, GLWTA.
