don't think the vin and cat labels are original.
possibly repros that have gone on after a restoration/repaint. the labels are not positioned where the factory placed them. normally a bit higher up nearer latch. (all 914s - at least from 74 on seem fairly consistent with position). some examples of 76 i had on file.    re drilled holes. is this VW production plate with its number sequence still in the front trunk. should be left hand side.  could be someone restoring/painting car mistakenly fixed this plate there in door jamb thinking it had something to do with vin labels. the distance of holes apart looks vaguely like it could have been that. if so its not something factory original. no plate or similar was in that spot where holes are drilled originally. holes look more recent. no paint in them so drilled after paint job. factory drilled holes were usually in the body before it was painted. not drilled afterwards. |
