I started with a 914 that sat 15 years in dry storage in the hands of a hopeful V8 conversion fan. A stalled project that never happened.
So my starting point was an unmolested car with no rust issues.
Original books/manuals, keys, radio and so on.
This will be a mildly modified back date look with body color bumpers and early steel wheels with hub caps.simple look of the German delivery first series cars.



Starting in on the home stretch, glass in and ready for door install
Interior is in and wiring connected. Starting to test systems and wake the long sleeping beauty. So far all go except for one headlight wont wake up.I'll be digging in on that as I work thru the rest of electrical check out.
Should hang the doors in the next few days. Fuel up and brake check out as well.

Off to DMV for vin inspection and license.
Still some trim bits to install and underside detail clean up.
I must say I'm quite pleased with finished product.
(engine lid is off for engine bay detailing)
