I'm saving money to restore pinky, and I'd like to know if the 73 platform is better than the 74

You are kidding right? I thought everyone knew that the only body diff was in 75/76. In fact, if you ordered a replacement panel from Porsche, you would get a 75/76 part.

Only in somebody's mind. In reality the answer would be yes....The '74....it has existed one year less to rust. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif) |

You guys are mean. Don't you think he'd want to know that the '73 and earlier cars are made of aluminum?

Boy you guys are relentless on busting Britt's chops. The only difference body wise that I am aware of is the rear bumper. Interior that is when they went to platic faced gauges, other than that???

I dont consider bumpers and interiors, body panels. The only difference in panels is the lip on the later models that held the bumper rubber to the body and the lip along the front of the trunk for the rubber also. Interiors changed almost every year as with the bumpers. Body parts are body parst and are interchangeable between any year. There, is that clear enough answer?
There were some difference in interior trunks and floors but you didnt ask about that. |

Yes, the 2.0l came with less rust from the factory. Thats why they are faster! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) rust = lightness = faster.
