To bring you up to speed. This will be my fifth 914 project. Last one was the beautiful Oly Blue that sold for over $20k.
This is a 1971 Willow Green 1.7 with approx 50k miles. Purchased from another board member just a couple of weeks ago, I will be going through it and evaluating the project list over the holiday week. The goal is to get her done by end of Feb. So. Here we go. Here is what she looks like now. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/img.photobucket.com-10656-1353443600.1.jpg) |

Removed trim and front bumper for thorough cleaning and sheet metal evaluation. After a good cleaning, you can see there is no evidence of repairs or rust. This is a typical area to find nasty repair work or rusty sheet metal.

Would that be for the second horn that 1971 cars were not supposed to have? |

First time I have seen one with the wiring outside the trunk, makes it look like its smiling at me. |
