Bringin Sexy Back-, She is Finished-The final installment Options

[ellisor3]

I have not posted the progress of my 73 six conversion, so I thought before I got it to paint I should post some pics. The car was purchased from a guy in Ohio as a "Virtually Rust Free Car". He provided photos and did point out some of the rust spots. He neglected to point out that the car had once been wrecked in the rear and there was no rust from the wreck because they used 40 lbs of bondo to cover it. The entire trunk had to be cut out to fix it, as well as part of the passenger floor panel.

Anyway it is about to go to the painter to get GT Flares, GT Rocker Panels, GT Rear Valence and some new color. All in all this car is in great shape, all things considered. Any way here you go.

Ok let's pretend it has been about 3 months since I posted progress. Here are a few more thing I have collected for the project, next week I will post the progress on the paint, it is pretty cool:


New VDO gauges, head temp, voltage, and pressure plus a pair of Supertones


New Dynamat for the floors and doors


New Carpet kit from Auto's International. I decided not to go with the OEM carpet, I just thought it had a more industrial look/feel. My goal with this project was to take a 914 and bring it forward about 20 years and build it as though price point was not as much a concern, with more modern components. Therefore I wanted a more plush carpet, this is from about '89.
