Hey guys.
Been on here a while now but finaly have a 914 close to being on the road. It's a '72 but has a sideshift gearbox, 5 stud wheels (911 front not redrilled) and from what i can tell late doors with reinforcing along with the obvious RHD conversion to make life a little easier here in Australia.
Hope these photos work.
First some of the car a couple of years back.

Glad you were able to purchase the car and possibly preventing it going to the "wrecking yard". Should not be any problem fixing the right front damage as long as the attachment points for the suspension and shocks are not damaged. Looks like the headlight box is were the damage is the structure. I double where the front part of the torsion bar attaches has any damage.

My car had damage more extensive to the left front corner pushing it back to the front trunk/fuel compartment divider; repaired and I had to do a little shimming on the front part of the left torsion bar. Got an excellent alignment and everything else checks out.

It looks like a very nice conversion to RHD and it should give you many years of driving enjoyment.
