To bring you up to speed. This will be my fifth 914 project. Last one was the beautiful Oly Blue that sold for over $20k.
This is a 1971 Willow Green 1.7 with approx 50k miles. Purchased from another board member just a couple of weeks ago, I will be going through it and evaluating the project list over the holiday week. The goal is to get her done by end of Feb. So. Here we go. Here is what she looks like now. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/img.photobucket.com-10656-1353443600.1.jpg) |

I'm sure there are better methods, but Mineral spirits work. I recall George H. telling me a high pressure steam washer works too. I didn't try it in fear that it might take the paint off.
