what do you think of this 914-6? [I bought it!], back to original Irish Green now Options

(UPDATED with comments below)

From the photos, this is what I see that is not correct. Anything I'm missing?

Not correct / things to fix:
- outside mirror
- speaker boxes
- after market front air dam
- 80s radio
- white valve covers
- rust (?) spots on carpet
- painted (?) headlight motors
- 4-cyl center console
- color change back to Irish Green
- wheel center caps need to be anodized or something
- incorrect jack
- black plastic threshold plates and carpet cleat should be aluminum

Not right but no reason to "correct" (IMO):
- Euro lenses
- Euro driving lights vs USA fog lights
- 15x6 Fuchs (was originally steel)

May or may not be correct:
- horn button is not correct
- center seat fabric should be smooth (Center cushion could be the Colgan aftermarket item, period correct)

questions / not sure:
- antenna may not be right... ?
- repro rear trunk carpet (missing grommet). or might be orig.

> fuel lines is one of them

Yup, all the fuel lines have been replaced, I guess I was just wondering about using the rubber ones (pictures) versus what I believe should be german/cloth covered fuel lines.

Keep this in mind that today's pump gasolines contain additives which will degrade older rubber hoses and even new hoses that aren't made specifically to guard against the additives. Sometimes the breakdown can be in as little as one year. Even brand new low pressure fuel hose (non-fuel injection) isn't guaranteed to protect against this degradation. You can get rubber hose today called 30R9 that is resistant to corrosive fuel additives. It's an excellent choice for carb applications. Looking at your pics I can't tell if the fuel lines are made from 30R9 or not. If they are you will see 30R9 labled on them somewhere along the outside. You can find it locally...Just have to ask for it specifically. I used it for all of flexible lines on my -6 conversion. Chris Foley owner of Tangerine Racing who you can find on the web or in our Vendor Forum, is a big advocate for these lines.
