CUDA 911's 914 Thread ! ! ! Options

Hey all,

Today, June 10, 2014, I bought my first 914. It is a 1974 1.8, silver.

My first posts on 914 world were in a thread dedicated to my hunt for a 914. It can be found at the following link:

Many, many people here provided a massive amount of fantastic information. I have studied, read, and (hopefully) learned the very basics of 914s.

Now that I own one, I will have a million more detailed questions, and I hope to keep things documented in this thread.

First, a few photos for you:

Thanks guys. Here are my first questions, basic though they are:

1. Driver's side door needs new lock cylinder, or current one fixed. Do I see a lock smith or a car restoration guy?

2. The radio antenna is black. Is that original? I prefer chrome if it should be chrome.

3. It has what appears to me to be a 1973 front bumper, from the repairs conducted in 1998. But, it doesn't have the chrome from the appearance group. Is the chrome a metal overlay piece I can buy? Or did they just chrome that metal portion of the bumper? Also, I really like the fog lights of the 1973 appearance group. Can they be added to the bumper that I currently have?

4. That bit of rust inside the trunk... should I spray it with Rustoleum to stop it from spreading? Should I sand it down first? Or should I take it to a body shop?

5. What is that grommet for in the middle of the carpet in the rear trunk?
