I've decided to keep my wrecked red car until my new 74 2L 914 from Part Pricer is road ready.
I just needed to pound out a few dents to get Big Red back on the road. Here's a couple of before pics. Attached thumbnail(s)

From the back, the trunk is starting to look like it did before. First I'm getting the metal to the right position, then I'll work it to get it into shape.
The wood in the back of the trunk was used to support the Audi jack when pushing the back end of the car back into shape. The engine seems to run ok, and the loud exhaust noise has been traced to a loose header bolt so it should be ok. I've driven the car around the block a few times without issue. Attached image(s)
